Dr. Yavuz Selim Şahin
Plant nutrition, crop protection, and controlled-environment production
I provide consultancy for smart agriculture and controlled-production systems, helping soil-based and soilless operations make plant nutrition, irrigation, climate control, and daily production decisions more measurable.
Working Approach
Agronomy, data, and production decisions in one disciplined workflow.
I combine this consultancy work with software and data-driven tools. Smart4Drip, for example, supports plant nutrition decisions through analysis, recipe optimization, and field data.
My applied research in AI-assisted precision agriculture and biological crop protection keeps this work connected to current methods. My publications include studies on deep-learning-based pest detection, thermal imaging for disease monitoring, entomopathogenic biological control, and controlled-environment cultivation.
Applied Research Areas
- AI-based pest detection & segmentation (YOLOv8, deep learning)
- Thermal imaging for early crop disease diagnosis
- Biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes
- Controlled-environment cultivation & mushroom production
