Productivity in agricultural enterprises is mainly achieved by increasing the productivity of seed, fertilizer, pesticide, labor and mechanization inputs. The aim of this study was to determine the productivity of the use of mechanization which has a significant share and limitation in production costs. For this purpose, in Karapınar, Çumra and Altınekin districts, which have 24% of the mechanization equipment used in the province of Konya, work was carried out. According to stratified random sampling method, 107 agricultural enterprises were interviewed. As a result of the surveys conducted with these enterprises, demographic and capital structures of the enterprises were examined, and annual activity results were calculated. According to the results of the annual activities, the land, labor and capital efficiency of the enterprises were calculated and the productivity of all three production factors increased in parallel with the growth of the enterprise scale. In order to determine the mechanization utilization productivity, which is the main purpose of the study, tractor draw force, working hours, age and usage costs were calculated. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the mechanization productivity increased as the scale of the enterprise grew and the use of mechanization of the enterprises having land of 200 decares and above was in European standards. According to this result, it has been determined that the choice of tractor suitable for land and enterprise scale should be made. For this reason, a machine park model has been proposed to facilitate the utilization of new technologies.

Conducted to determine the level of mechanization of Konya in this study; Konya, constituting 24.73 % of the total assets in the province Altınekin toolmaker, Çumra, Karapinar district have been identified as an area of research. In the study, the sample size was determined as 107 in a 5% error with 95% confidence limits, and data using the survey technique has been compiled on a voluntary basis in agricultural enterprises. The firms surveyed in accordance with the criteria used in determining the level of agricultural mechanization, falling 67.07 per farm tractor engine power kW; The average tractor power is 42.73 kW; The number of instrument-maker 7.05 per tractor units; 5.57 tons of weight per tractor per-machine tools; The average engine power per unit area of 2.80 kW / ha; The number of tractors to 1000 ha Total area 65.72; 15.21 ha of cultivated area falling on a tractor; The number of 1000 ha area was calculated as 0.39 units per harvester. This level of mechanization and the use of Konya in line with data obtained from average has been compared by value of Turkey in the light of figures and charts. As a result of the comparison, the enterprises surveyed had a value above average in Turkey.

Çalışmanın temel amacı Antalya ilinde yoğun olarak yetiştirilen başlıca sebzelerin (domates, biber, patlıcan, kabak ve hıyar) üretim maliyetlerini ve ekonomik sonuçlarını hesaplayarak üretim maliyetlerine etki eden faktörleri belirlemektir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak tabakalı tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenen 232 adet işletmeyle anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket sonucunda biber, domates, kabak, patlıcan ve hıyar ürünlerinin 1 kg maliyetleri sırasıyla 2.41 TL, 2.37 TL, 2.69 TL, 3.07 TL ve 2.46 TL olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında ürünlerin maliyetlerine ek olarak brüt ve net kârları hesaplanmıştır. Biber üretiminin 1 kg brüt kârı 0.39 TL, 1 kg net kârı -0.24 TL, domates üretiminin 1 kg brüt kârı 0.35 TL, 1 kg net kârı -0.26 TL, kabak üretiminin 1 kg brüt kârı 0.23 TL, 1 kg net kârı -0,56 TL, patlıcan üretiminin 1 kg brüt kârı 0.44 TL, 1 kg net kârı -0.41 TL ve hıyar üretiminin 1 kg brüt kârı 0.35 TL, 1 kg net kârı -0.37 TL olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ürünlerin maliyetlerini etkileyen faktörler doğrusal regresyon analiziyle tahmin edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre sebze üretim maliyetlerini fide, gübre ve ilaç masrafları pozitif yönde, materyal ve mevsimlik işgücü masrafı negatif yönde etkilemiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sera işletmelerinde ölçek ekonomisiyle sağlanan maliyet ve kâr avantajının oluşmadığı, dolayısıyla işletme ölçeklerinin büyümesine karşı net kârın negatif olduğu belirlenmiştir.

The return of socio-economic prosperity in the population and developed countries in the world has increased the demand for agricultural products. It increases the need for agricultural water in production and production conditions to meet the increasing demand. Irrigation methods and irrigation systems are needed to meet irrigation water. As a matter of fact, which method or system is chosen for study researches and cost calculations. In this study, comparative economic analysis is aimed for irrigation. For this purpose, plant costs and operating costs of irrigation systems are determined, and investment costs are calculated. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis is performed for irrigation systems and the net present value and internal rate of return are calculated. As a result of the calculation; 1.02 in sprinkler irrigation systems, 1.13 in drip irrigation systems, 1.54 in center-pivot irrigation systems and 1.57 in linear move irrigation systems. According to these values, the cost ratio of linear move irrigation system is higher than other systems. The fact that the cost-benefit ratio is greater than 1 indicates that the investments are profitable. The net present values of irrigation systems are determined as $ 25.90 in sprinkler irrigation, $ 179.56 in drip irrigation, $ 833.00 in center-pivot irrigation and $ 844.46 in linear move irrigation and in terms of net present value, linear move irrigation systems come to the fore. In addition, the internal profitability rates of irrigation systems are calculated, and the rate of sprinkler irrigation was found to be 20.42%, in drip irrigation 29.09%, in center-pivot irrigation 76.16% and in linear move irrigation 76.41%. According to internal profitability rates, the most profitable system is linear move irrigation system. As a result, linear move irrigation systems are more profitable than other systems.

Although Turkey's total agricultural land not decrease occurred over the years thanks to the presence of land brought into production economically in irrigated maize quality aquaculture operations have become widespread in Turkey. Maize in areas where watering is possible; it is a popular product in terms of aquaculture because of low labor costs, high efficiency advantage in unit area and easy access of the product market. The increase in irrigation areas in parallel production of maize; It is a product with high economic value but high water consumption. In this aspect, the aim of the study is to make analyzes about the sustainability of the agricultural activities, the solution of the problems encountered in the process from the sowing of the crop to the harvesting, and the expectations of the farmers. In the study, it was determined that agricultural operators have future concerns about input costs, storage facilities and consumption of water resources.
