Project Summary

The aim of Project is a multi-channel flow injection analysis (FIA) system that will provide the analysis of micro elements (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, B) in hydroponic nutrient solution and a method that can provide simultaneous analysis of micro elements will be developed. It is also aimed to develop software with an interface to control all system components from a single page.

In addition, the pump, injection valve and flow cell from the sub-elements of flow system will be produced within the scope of the project.

Within the scope of the project, instead of conductivity measurement in hydroponic greenhouses, specific and on-line ion analysis will be done. Thus, individual and real-time arrangements for micro elements will be provided.

Therefore, it is aimed to increase the yield and quality of the product and decrease the environmental pollution by providing controlled fertilizer usage.
