“…For a long time, environmental researchers have been looking for an alternative renewable energy which produces no harmful impact on the environment (Kannan and Vakeesan, 2016). Using solar energy has many advantages, as it is economical, clean, easy to operate, produces no noise, has low-cost maintenance and does not emit greenhouse gases, unlike fossil fuel energy (Aroonsrimorakot and Laiphrakpam, 2019;Aroonsrimorakot et al, 2020;Kumar, 2020).…”

Importance of the work:As the world's population is growing at a fast rate, it is important to increase agricultural productivity by applying efficient crop management to feed the increasing population. Objectives: To review: 1) the interdependencies among water, energy and agricultural farming; 2) green innovation in irrigation for agricultural farming, including sprinkler and drip irrigation, wastewater ferti-irrigation, precision agriculture with the internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs); and 3) solar energy for irrigation based on innovative solutions to save energy in agricultural farming for environmental sustainability. Materials & Methods:A state-of-the-art literature review methodology was applied across various available sources, on the application of green innovation in agricultural farming to increase crop productivity with efficient use of water and energy. Results: Some water, energy and fertilizer-saving green innovations include drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, ferti-irrigation and precision agriculture with the IoT and WSNs. The review provides insights, which may be beneficial to farmers and practitioners who need to adopt green innovation to improve agricultural sustainability by bringing efficiencies in irrigation, crop productivity and environmental sustainability. Main findings: The challenges of water-energy-agricultural farming could be solved by adopting green innovation in agricultural water and energy management, thus leading to saving scarce water resources and fertilizers and reducing environmental problems.

“…The agriculture chain practices ( soil seedbed preparation, different types of sowing, irrigation fertilizer, weed resistance, and harvesting) are generally performed by fossil fuel-powered units, increasing the risk of GHG emissions into the environment [23][24][25]. So, There is an urgent need to identify the amount of GHG emission from agricultural practices that can contribute to decreasing emissions in agricultural production [26].…”

The productivity and efficiency of harvesting forage crops depend on the sharpness and quality of the mower blades. Therefore, studying blades wear during the harvesting process is crucial to sharpening and maintaining blades. The research aims to create mathematical models to predict the wear of mower blades and assess the wear rate of mower blades, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions during harvesting operations. The wear of blades was measured and characterized by the weight loss method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before and after the field experiment. The results showed that the weight of the mower blade decreased from 103.82 to 98.39 g after 37.5 working hours. In addition, the wear of blades increased fuel consumption and operation cost with time. Also, CO2 emissions were 17.672 kg/h at the beginning of the experiment and increased to 29.516 kg/h after 37.5 working hours. From the obtained mathematical equations, the wear of the blade sharp part occurs after 34±3 work hours have passed, so the blades must be resharpened after this period.

“…In agriculture, using renewable energy instead of fossil sources, which is one of the essential input costs for producers, has gained importance in recent years (Usman and Makhdum, 2021;Tomasz et al, 2021). The produced energy by utilizing renewable energy sources such as biomass, solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal energy; it meets the energy needs of many systems such as drying and irrigation of agricultural products, heating, lighting, and ventilation of greenhouses (Aroonsrimorakot et al, 2021;Babu et al, 2021;Gorjian et al, 2021). It is essential to store the produced energy from such renewable energy sources to make it more efficient for energy usage.…”

Nowadays, the energy and agriculture sectors are united for financial efficiency, and it brought the question to minds “can be stored the electrical energy that used in agriculture with an agricultural product?”. In this study, lavender essential oil, it obtained from Lavandula angustifolia, was used as a part of energy storage system. The essential oil was produced by distillation method. To energy storage performance analysis, the simple electrochemical capacitor was formed with platin foils and lavender essential oil. The capacitor application performances showed that the lavender essential oil can energy storage up to 4 Voltages (V). A capacity of 92 milli-Farad per cm2 (mF/cm2) was obtained with Lavender essential oil in the range of 0-4 V, and this value showed that lavender essential oil can be used in capacitors, as an electrolyte material. The results when evaluated in terms of agricultural economics, 1 million capacitors with a size of 1 cm2 can be produced with 1 ton lavender crops production per decare. Moreover, with lavender capacitors, the amount of energy required for a farm of 1000 hectares can be stored with 1000 capacitors of 10 cm2. Also, the stored energy is more than the farm's annual energy consumption, saving the farm ~534 USD annually on energy costs. In the case that all farm energy is produced with renewable energy sources, the annual profit is calculated as ~23697 USD. Also, the exploring of electrochemical capacitor electrolyte property of lavender essential oil could create an alternative sales pitch for agricultural producers.
