Abstract

Weeds are a major problem in agriculture, causing yield losses and reducing crop quality. Traditional control methods such as chemical herbicides are costly and harmful to the environment. This study presents a sustainable weed management system design and analysis using high voltage electricity (10,000V) to eliminate weeds without chemicals. The experimental system is designed for efficient and safe operation and consists of a 12V battery, inverter, transformer and copper grounding plate. In the implementation phase, it was tested on different widths and different lengths of the weed called high voltage water meadow and recorded how long it takes to become current proof. In addition, detailed analyses were made according to the aspect ratio as to how much current it passes at maximum that is, how much power it consumes. The analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the system and the treated weeds showed significant cellular damage and desiccation. This approach will minimize the environmental impact while promoting sustainable agriculture by providing an environmentally friendly alternative to weeds.

Özet

Yabani otlar, tarımda verim kayıplarına neden olan ve ürün kalitesini düşüren önemli bir sorundur. Kimyasal herbisitler gibi geleneksel kontrol yöntemleri maliyetli ve çevreye zararlıdır. Bu çalışma, yabani otları kimyasallar olmadan ortadan kaldırmak için yüksek voltajlı elektrik (10.000V) kullanan sürdürülebilir bir yabani ot yönetim sistem tasarımı ve analizi sunmaktadır. Deneysel sistem, verimli ve güvenli çalışma için uygun tasarlanmış olup 12V akü, invertör, transformatör ve bakır topraklama plakalarından oluşmaktadır. Uygulama aşamasında, yüksek gerilim su çayırı olarak isimlendirilen yabani otun farklı enlerde ve farklı boylarda olan örnekleri üzerinde test edilmiş ne kadar sürede akım geçirmez hale geldiği kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca en-boy oranına göre maksimum maksimum ne kadar akım geçirdiği yani ne kadar güç harcadığı şeklinde detaylı analizler yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda sistemin etkinliğini doğrulanmış ve işlenen yabani otlar önemli ölçüde hücresel hasar ve kuruma göstermiştir. Bu yaklaşım, yabani otlara karşı çevre dostu bir alternatif sunarak sürdürülebilir tarımı teşvik ederken çevresel etkiyi de en aza indirecektir.
