Determination of energy balance of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.),hungarianvetch (Vicia pannonica C.) and narbonne vetch(Vicia narbonensis L.) production in

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine an energy balance of common vetch, hungarian vetch and narbonne vetch production during the production season of 2015 in Bingol province of Turkey.

Energy use efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) analysis of garlic cultivation in Turkey

“…Similar results were found in other studies on onion production. Samavatean [6] calculated that chemical fertilizers were responsible for 41.72% of energy inputs in garlic cultivation, Arın and Akdemir [10] reported the chemical fertilizers' energy use as 56.71% of the total energy inputs in onion cultivation, Ozbek et al [11] calculated the chemical fertilizers' energy use as 60.43% of the total energy inputs in onion cultivation, and Yilmaz et al [23] calculated 45.36% of total energy inputs were due to the chemical fertilizers in black cumin production.…”

“…Studies have been performed on energy use and GHG analysis of agricultural products. For example, garlic [6,7] , onion [10,11] , sugar beet [12,13] , vegetables [14,15] , lettuce [16] , cotton [17] , wheat [18] , corn [19] , sunflower [20] , pumpkin seed [21] , maize [22] , black cumin [23] , vetch [24] , lavender [25] , and different fruits [26] . This study has not made any analysis regarding the energy use efficiency and GHG emission of garlic cultivation in the region in Turkey.…”
