“…Renewable energy included human, labour, manure and seed, while non-renewable sources included diesel, electricity, chemicals, fertilizers, machinery. The energy coefficients of these sources are available in the papers (Croke 1979;Khan, Singh 1996;Ozkan et al 2004;Canakci et al 2005;Hatirli et al 2006). The energy coefficients used in this study are given in Table 1.…”

“…Many researchers studied energy analysis to determine the energy efficiency of plant production, such as potato in India (Yadav et al 1991), sugarcane in Morocco (Mrini et al 2001) and Louisiana (Ricaud 1980), rice in Malaysia (BockariGevao et al 2005), vegetables in Turkey (Canakci et al 2005), cotton in Greece (Tsatsarelis 1991). Pathak and Bining (1985) pointed out that the energy consumption in paddy production is much higher than that of wheat production, primarily due to the high irrigation requirements of rice.…”

Alipour A., Veisi H., Darijani F., Mirbagheri B., Behbahani A.G., 2012. Study and determination of energy consumption to produce conventional rice of the Guilan province. Res. Agr. Eng., 58: 99-106.The aim of this study was to determine the energy efficiency indices in the agro-ecosystems of the Guilan province in 2010. One hundred and twenty-seven farmers were interviewed using a particularly designed questionnaire. The inputs in the calculation of energy use in agro-ecosystems embraced labour, machinery, electricity, diesel oil, fertilizers, seeds, while rice and straw yield were included in the output. The results depicted that total input and output energy into these agro-ecosystems were about 47,604 and 90,680.04 MJ/ha, respectively. The highest energy input was related to water (38.84%), electricity (27.87%) and nitrogen fertilizer (17.5%). Energy efficiency and energy productivity in these agro-ecosystems was 2.19 and 0.064 kg/MJ, respectively, and water productivity was 0.11 kg/m 3 . The results also showed that due to application of flood irrigation in these agro-ecosystems and also water elicited from subterranean sources by electrical pump, the inputs had the largest portion among the energy inputs to agro-ecosystems that this matter increased energy use in the unit area and also reduced energy efficiency and productivity.

“…Kazemi et al (2015) in their study in north of Iran, indicated that the lowest net energy corresponded to Mazandaran (25,795.39 MJ ha -1 ). Canakci et al (2005) has also reported the specific energy for field crops and vegetable production in Turkey as 5.24 MJ kg -1 for wheat, 11.24 MJ kg -1 for cotton, 3.88 MJ kg -1 for maize, 16.21 MJ kg -1 for sesame, 1.14 MJ kg -1 for tomato, 0.98 MJ kg -1 for melon, and 0.97 MJ kg -1 for watermelon.…”

This study explores gender in the energy inputoutput analysis by comparing the energy indicators in paddy production in female-headed farms and male-headed farms during years of 2014-2015 in Mazandaran Province. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 120 paddy farmers (60 males and 60 females). Energy indicators were calculated for female-and male-headed farms. Results revealed noticeable variations in some important energy indicators between female-and male-headed farms. A significant difference was observed in terms of total energy input. The majority of energy input consumption for both female-and male-headed farms was devoted to diesel fuel, fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, and machinery. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between male-headed and female-headed farms in terms of net energy and specific energy, but energy use efficiency and energy productivity were significantly higher for female-headed farms. Then, it can be argued that gender factor had a significant impact on amount of direct, indirect, and renewable energy inputs. Based on our findings, female-headed rice systems were more efficient, where fossil-based inputs were used more environment friendly than male-headed farms. Finally, targeted ''soft'' policies like gender-sensitive capacity-developing program were proposed.

Abstract:The main objective of this study was to analyze the energy input, energy output and energy output/input ratio of three selected crops viz, sorghum, wheat and cotton in Gezira agricultural scheme of Sudan during five growing seasons. The results showed that the total energy expenditures (input) were 12.64 GJ/ha, 18.52 GJ/ha and 18.72 GJ/ha, while the total energy outputs were 95.59 GJ/ha, 127.90 GJ/ha and 20.51 GJ/ha for sorghum, wheat and cotton respectively. Fertilizer application was the most energy consuming field operation for the three crops. It was about 52 -68% of total energy inputs. Energy output/input ratios varied from 6.2-8.4 for sorghum, 5.9-7.4 for wheat and 0.9-1.2 for cotton. Linear relationship was found between crop production and energy output/input ratios with high correlations (R2 = 0.97 -99) for the three crops.
