Özet
Discrete Element Methods (DEM) are a new numerical approach that can be used to model the behavior of granular media. In agriculture, DEM has been increasingly employed as a means of optimizing a variety of agricultural operations such as soil tillage, seeding, harvesting, as well as post-harvesting activities. This review article seeks to offer a thorough analysis of the use of DEM in agriculture as well as the prospects of this new approach. This article will address the basic theory of DEM, its applications in agricultural operations, as well as various difficulties that can arise as a result of the use of DEM in agricultural practices.
