Abstract:Pearl millet, also known as Bajra is one of the major Kharif food crops of arid and semi-arid cropping region of India. It ranks first under the category of millet in India in terms of area, production and productivity. An on-the-farm evaluation of energy inputs and output was calculated to determine the distribution of main energy sources (i.e. human, fuel, machinery, seed and fertilizer) used in pearl millet cultivation. This study was carried out at dryland farm area, C.C.S.
“…The maximum share in the total energy input was fertilizer (56%), followed by fossil fuel (29%) and human resources (12%). The energy use efficiency was 6.12 [41].…”

“…The energy use efficiency was 6.12. 41 3.1.6 Sorghum. The data of different energy-consuming operations for sorghum cultivation were obtained from the CRSF farm, Maharashtra (India).…”
This study presents the energy assessment of 49 different crops of countries such as India, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey, Australia, Nigeria and Thailand. According to the Food...
