Estimation of wheat yield is essential not only for agricultural sectors but also for making economic and strategic decisions at the national level. In this thesis, wheat yield estimation was carried out on the cities and districts where the highest wheat production is made with rainfed agriculture in Turkey and on TİGEM research farms. Two different modeling approaches were evaluated within the scope of the thesis; a statistical multiple linear regression (MLR) model based on analysis of possible agro-meteorological variables and periods that affects wheat yield and a crop growth model (AquaCrop) adapted to regional operation. Wheat yields were estimated on the study areas using grid-based agro-meteorological data obtained from remote sensing and reanalysis sources. The performance of both models has been validated using independent validation methods. The AquaCrop adapted for regional wheat estimation validation statistics were calculated as 40.6 kg/da RMSE on city-based, 47.3 kg/da on district-based, and 79.2 kg/da on farm-based models. In addition, the r2 values were calculated as 0.78, 0.65, and 0.69 for the city, district, and farm-based models. The MLR model statistics for the prediction year 2019 were calculated over cities, districts, and farms as 28.5 kg/da, 52.5 kg/da, and 74.6 kg/da RMSE, and the r2 values were calculated as 0.90, 0.82, and 0.59. The results obtained from the study show that wheat yields are predicted consistently in both model approaches. The results obtained from the study show that wheat yields are predicted consistently in both model approaches.

Optimization of Multireservoir Systems by Genetic Algorithm Hinçal, Onur; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Ger, A. Metin (2011-03-01) Application of optimization techniques for determining the optimal operating policy of reservoirs is a major issue in water resources planning and management. As an optimization Genetic Algorithm, ruled by evolution techniques, have become popular in diversified fields of science. The main aim of this study is to explore the efficiency and effectiveness of genetic algorithm in optimization of multi-reservoirs. A computer code has been constructed for this purpose and verified by means of a reference problem...
Sociospatial impacts of deindustrialization : the case of Karabük Çevik, Murat; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of City and Regional Planning (2003) The main objective of this study is to evaluate the socio-spatial impacts of the restructuring of a locality, Karabük, which was shaped under a different development strategy, namely, import substitution industrialization strategy. Karabük case shows that establishment of Karabük Iron and Steal Factories was decided on the basis of political and social priorities of a period when there was limited competitive environment and such priorities have lost their primacy under the export oriented growth strategy i...
ASSESSMENT OF THE IRRIGATION PERFORMANCE OF TRANSFERRED SCHEMES IN TURKEY: A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS ÇAKMAK, BELGİN; Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül; KENDİRLİ, BERNA; Gokalp, Zeki (Wiley, 2010-04-01) Efforts to increase the amount of irrigation schemes transferred to irrigation associations (IAs) in Turkey have been motivated by the poor performance in terms of cost recovery, equity, efficiency in operation and maintenance (O&M) and repairs of many large irrigation schemes by government agencies, namely the State Hydraulic Works (DSI). The objective of this study is to assess the irrigation system performance of transferred irrigation schemes in the DSI Fifth Regional Directorate service area mainly for...
Expression analysis of NAC type transcription factors on wheat seedlings under abiotic stress conditions Baloğlu, Mehmet Cengiz; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2011) Wheat is the most important grain crop grown in our country providing greatest part of the daily nutritional requirement. Abiotic factors including salinity, drought, cold and heat stresses affect quality and yield of wheat varieties used for the production of both bread and pasta flour. NAC proteins form one of the widest families of plant specific transcription factors. Members of this family are related with development, defense and abiotic stress responses. TaNAC69-1 and TtNAM-B2 genes were isolated fro...
Quota implementation of the maximum sustainable yield for age-structured fisheries Kanik, Zafer; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Elsevier BV, 2016-6) One of the main goals stated in the proposals for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform was achieving maximum sustainable yield (MSY) for all European fisheries. In this paper, we propose a fishing rights allocation mechanism or management system, which specifies catch limits for individual fishing fleets to implement MSY harvesting conditions in an age-structured bioeconomic model. An age-structured model in a single species fishery with two fleets having perfect or imperfect fishing selectivity is stud...
