Abstract:In this study, the net balance of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and energy of wheat and maize production systems in two farms in Khuzestan province of Iran was assessed. The results showed that totally wheat farming is more efficient than maize farming in terms of energy and CO2-eq indexes. The total energy requirement for maize and wheat farming was 92560.24 MJ ha -1 and 39624.15 MJ ha -1 , which caused the emission of 20191.47 and 7541.04 kg CO 2 -equivalent per hectare in maize and wheat farms respectively.… Show more
