“…The rate of energy (energy ratio) and energy productivity were 0.59 and 0.74 kg/MJ, respectively. In other studies, the rate of energy in staketomato production in the Tokat province of Turkey (Esengun et al 2007) and tomato production in greenhouse in Antalya, Turkey (Ozkan et al 2004) were reported to be 0.80 and 1.26, respectively. Cetin and Vardar (2008) found that energy ratio and energy productivity in tomato production in the south Marmara region of Turkey were 0.8 and 0.99 kg/MJ, respectively.…”

Jadidi M.R., Sabuni M.S., Homayounifar M., Mohammadi A., 2012. Assessment of energy use pattern for tomato production in Iran: A case study from the Marand region. Res. Agr. Eng., 58: 50-56.The aim of the contribution was to determine energy consumption of input and output used in tomato production and to optimize the energy inputs in the Marand region, Iran. The study also sought to analyse the effect of farm size on energy use and input costs based on tomatoes production and to reveal the relationship between energy inputs and yield by developing mathematical models. Questions about energy management present very interesting and actual topic in this time. The results revealed that tomato production consumed a total of 65,238.9 MJ/ha of which fertilizers were 50.98% followed by water for irrigation (20.67%). Output-input energy and energy productivity were found to be 0.59 and 0.74 kg/MJ, respectively. The results of energy optimization showed that using existing energy inputs, the yield of tomato can be increased by 45.2% in small farms, 43.5% in medium farms and 30% in large farms. The rate of direct, indirect, renewable and non-renewable energy forms were found to be 37.2, 62.8, 30.9 and 69.1% of total energy input, respectively. The main non-renewable inputs were chemical fertilizers and diesel fuel, management of plant nutrients and proper machinery selection to reduce diesel fuel use would increase rate of renewable energy.

“…The total mean expenditure for the production was 7,816 $/ha, where 92.2% was the share of variable costs, whereas 7.8% was fixed expenditures. Several studies reported that the ratio of variable cost was higher than that of fixed cost in cropping systems (Esengun et al 2007;Ҫetin, Vardar 2008;Mohammadi et al Kitani (1999) 6. Wood (packaging) (kg dry mass) 18 MJ/kg Singh, Mittal (1992) 7.…”

Fadavi R., Keyhani A., Mohtasebi S.S., 2011. An analysis of energy use, input costs and relation between energy inputs and yield of apple orchard. Res. Agr. Eng., This study examines the energy balance between the input and the output per hectare for an apple orchard in the West Azarbaijan province in Iran (2008Iran ( -2009). Data were collected by using random sampling method for 80 "face to face" questioners. Results showed that the highest share of energy consumption belongs to packaging (57%) and irrigation (16%). The highest share of expenses was found to be 34% and 30% for labor and packaging, respectively. The total energy input for apple production, energy productivity, net energy and output-input energy value were estimated as 101,505 MJ/ha, 0.23 kg/MJ, -56,320 MJ/ha and 0.44, respectively. Results indicated that 71% and 96.7% of total energy input were in indirect and non-renewable form, respectively. The benefit-cost ratio was estimated as 1.77. The regression results revealed that all exogenous variables (for machinery, fertilizers, farmyard manure and packaging energies) were found statistically significant. The packaging had the highest impact (3.23). According to the benefit-cost ratio, large farms were more successful in economic performance.

“…Energy use efficiency of main product (EUE M ) for rice (4.9) is higher than wheat due to higher average grain yield of rice than wheat (Table 2). Earlier scientists reported different EUE M values for different crops like 7.2 for wheat (Singh et al, 1997), 8.4 for maize (Hetz, 1992) and 0.8 for stake-tomato (Esengun et al, 2006). Bockari-Gevao et al, (2005) reported EUE M for rice without irrigation was 8.86 for Malaysia.…”
