Since mechanization is inevitable and isassociated with increase in productivity, there need to find the most appropriate tillage method crop production that minimizes energy consumption, enhance profitability reduce environmental damage from fossil fuel related emission. This research investigates use efficiency melon three methods (reduced, minimum maximum). Human power, machinery, diesel fue...

One of the main components production expenses in agricultural operations is energy. The effectiveness its application frequently impacted favor other equally important aspects. energy utilization cassava three distinct farm sizes and technologies Kwara State, Nigeria, was investigated using parametric equations. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on output from 175 farmers. Farms separate...

Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pregrazing pasture herbage mass (HM) on CH4 emissions, ruminal fermentation, and ADG of grazing beef heifers at 2 stages of the grazing season. Thirty Limousin cross heifers were allocated to 1 of 2 target pregrazing HM treatments [a low HM (LHM) or high HM (HHM) treatment] for 126 d in a randomized block design experiment. Pasture herb...

the energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in sari in the mazandaran province of iran during 2011–2012. data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. the results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 mj ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. the results of the cobb-doug...

Abstract One of the basic objectives sustainable agriculture is efficient use available inputs and resources. Hence, energy was evaluated in present study for cultivation greenhouse gas emissions main horticultural crops paddy Tajan. The required data were collected through relying on subjective objective methods such as questionnaries field recorded Tajan plain period 2020–2022. maximum input ...

in the present study, an attempt has been made to use data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing the technical efficiency and return-to-scale for greenhouse cucumber production in iran. for this purpose, the data from greenhouses in esfahan province, during one period of plant cultivation in one year including spring plants were randomly collected. the results indicated that total input ener...
