ffAbstract
This study evaluated the temporal development and provincial variation of no-till seed drill availability in Türkiye between 2015 and 2024. Annual data on no-till seed drills, tractors, and agricultural land were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Two complementary mechanization indicators were calculated: the number of no-till seed drills per 1000 tractors and the number of no-till seed drills per 1000 ha of agricultural land. Provincial arithmetic means, medians, minimum and maximum values, standard deviations, variances, and coefficients of variation were used to assess temporal variability and differences among provinces. The provincial mean number of no-till seed drills per 1000 tractors increased from 1.203 in 2015 to 1.303 in 2024, corresponding to an increase of 8.31%. During the same period, the mean number of no-till seed drills per 1000 ha increased from 0.0605 to 0.0822, representing an increase of 36.03%. The coefficients of variation of the annual provincial means were 5.84% and 12.56% for the tractor-based and land-based indicators, respectively. Şanlıurfa recorded the highest ten-year mean number of no-till seed drills per 1000 tractors, whereas Antalya had the highest mean density per 1000 ha of agricultural land. Osmaniye ranked among the leading provinces for both indicators. The provincial arithmetic means remained consistently higher than the corresponding medians, indicating a positively skewed distribution and the concentration of no-till seed drills in a limited number of provinces. By comparison, the national number of total agricultural tools and machines per tractor remained relatively stable, with a coefficient of variation of 2.01%. The findings demonstrated that tractor-based and land-based indicators produced different provincial rankings and should therefore be used jointly when evaluating no-till mechanization. The analysis was based on complete annual records available for 63 provinces; therefore, the remaining provincial records should be verified before the results are generalized to all 81 provinces.
