Geothermal Source Technological Greenhouse: Kula's Transformation in Agriculture

Kula Municipality, by undertaking a revolutionary project in agricultural production, geothermal resources equipped with technological greenhouse has implemented its application. This project stands out as an important step in the search for sustainability and efficiency in the agricultural sector. Taking advantage of Kula's climatic conditions, geothermal energy Production is ensured throughout the year with its use.

Fundamentals and Objectives of the Project

Geothermal source greenhouse project, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Industry and Technology ve Victory Development Agency The main purpose of the project is to increase Kula's agricultural potential and to spread environmentally friendly agricultural practices. In this context, in the greenhouse soilless agriculture By using techniques, it is aimed to obtain high yield with less water and fertilizer.

Innovative Agricultural Practices

Innovative agricultural methods applied in greenhouses increase the quality and efficiency of agricultural production. Geothermal heating Thanks to its systems, the temperature required by the plants is constantly provided, thus enabling production throughout the year. In addition, soilless agriculture With this technique, the roots of the plants are directly fed with water and nutrient solution. This method reduces the risk of disease and allows for healthier products to be obtained.

Product Range and Economic Contribution

In the geothermal greenhouse, 145 thousand root tomato seedlings were first planted. At the end of the production process, these tomatoes are offered to both domestic and foreign markets. Thus, Kula's economic potential increases and local farmers also benefit from this project. Kula District Governor Omer Ahmet Ozdemir, emphasizes that the project is very important for the region and that high productivity in agriculture is achieved.

Environmentally Friendly Farming Techniques

Another important aspect of the project is the use of environmentally friendly agricultural techniques. Geothermal energy The greenhouse heated by means of reduces fossil fuel consumption and thus minimizes carbon emissions. In addition, by providing water savings, it contributes to the more efficient use of water resources. In this respect, the project provides not only an economic but also an ecological benefit.

Harvest Process and Participation

The tomatoes planted in October 2024 are ready for the first harvest of the new year. This meaningful event was organized by the Deputy Secretary General of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality.

After the harvest process, the personnel working in the greenhouse and the protocol members came together, cut the cake and celebrated this moment.

Future Expectations

Kula Municipality sets big goals for the future with its geothermal greenhouse project. When the continuity of this project is ensured, it is expected that Kula will become an important center for agricultural production. In particular, the efficient use of geothermal resources will make agricultural production in the region modern and sustainable. In addition, increasing such innovative projects will greatly contribute to the strengthening of the local economy and the increase in agricultural exports.

As a result

The geothermal-sourced technological greenhouse project creates a significant transformation in Kula’s agricultural sector and contributes to the local economy. Supported by environmentally friendly practices and innovative agricultural techniques, this project will continue to increase Kula’s agricultural potential in the future.
