Colour and weight changes of aubergine, bean, cucumber by the effects of microwave energy

In many agricultural productions, especially in the production in the open field, pests have negative effects. As they can be effective during the production process, they can cause economic losses after harvest even after the sale. In this study, it is aimed to reveal in what way the plants will be affected when microwave energy is applied to the plants of bean, cucumber and aubergine in greenhouses and in the applications where the usage of microwave energy has become widespread. For this purpose, first, the power of microwave energy that the plants are affected, the duration of exposure to this power and the distance of the system from the target have been detected by preparing a testing apparatus. During these studies, in what way the plants were damaged in terms of colour and weight have been followed so they damaged. In the applications, as the application time was getting increased and the application distance was getting decreased, malicious mortality rate and weight and colour values of the plants also increased. As the value of microwave power was getting increased, there were some increases at the exchange rate of all measured values. However, since there were some tears at certain points, especially in stem sections, the smoothness of the measured value were impaired and irregular data were obtained. Colour and weight changes of aubergine, bean, cucumber by the effects of microwave energy determined
