“…In agriculture, the highest share (86%) in N 2 O emissions is that of the emissions from arable soils. A study by Syp et al (2016) showed that N 2 O emissions from cultivated soils in Poland varied within the range of 1.99-3.78 kg N 2 O ha/year. A reduction in these greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture can be achieved by: (i) large-scale implementation of precision farming; (ii) growing crops with a high carbon sequestration potential; (iii) organic fertilization; (iv) growing energy crops; (v) organic farming; (vi) afforestation of agricultural land (Sosulski et al 2017).…”

Plant Soil Environ., 63: 342-347.The study concerned the determination of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions under conventional and reduced tillage conditions. In the reduced cultivation, a soil cultivating seed drill was used for simultaneous sowing of seeds and subsurface application of fertilizer. The emission levels of the gas tested were dependent on the year of the study and the method of soil tillage, and were subject to considerable changes during the growing season. The use of reduced soil tillage significantly limited emissions of the analysed gas into the atmosphere. Depending on the year of the study, N 2 O emission in the reduced tillage system was from 15% to 40% lower than in the conventional system. Low levels of easily mineralized components in soil could have been the cause of the reduction in N 2 O emissions to the atmosphere.

“…The studies carried out so far of other authors [26,29,43,44] have indicated that taking local environmental conditions in the GNOC calculator used in this work into account allows for a more accurate estimation of field emission of N 2 O. It is usually lower than the emission estimated with the use of a simpler, but omitting local climatic conditions, soil, and farm management method, IPCC method at the Tier 1 level.…”

“…These data can only be collected by sampling at the farm scale [24]. The GNOC tool was developed based production data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) database and the input data that are necessary for performing the calculations include, among others, the place of cultivation, grain and straw yields, soil conditions, information on irrigation, the dose of applied fertilizers, information on post-harvest residues, as well as basic environmental parameters [25,26]. This tool calculates N 2 O emissions that are based on the approach of Stehfest and Bouwman [27].…”

A reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as an increase in the share of renewable energy are the main objectives of EU energy policy. In Poland, biofuels play an important role in the structure of obtaining energy from renewable sources. In the case of biofuels obtained from agricultural raw materials, one of the significant components of emissions generated in their full life cycle is emissions from the cultivation stage. The aim of the study is to estimate and recognize the structure of GHG emission from biomass production in selected farms in Poland. For this purpose, the methodology that was recommended by the Polish certification system of sustainable biofuels and bioliquids production, as approved by the European Commission, was used. The calculated emission values vary between 41.5 kg CO2eq/t and 147.2 kg CO2eq/t dry matter. The highest average emissions were obtained for wheat (103.6 kg CO2eq/t), followed by maize (100.5 kg CO2eq/t), triticale (95.4 kg CO2eq/t), and rye (72.5 kg CO2eq/t). The greatest impact on the total GHG emissions from biomass production is caused by field emissions of nitrous oxide and emissions from the production and transport of fertilizers and agrochemicals. Emissions that were generated at the stage of production, storage, and transport of seeds and during the use of fuels in agricultural and forestry machinery have a significantly smaller share in the total GHG emissions from biomass production.

Every type of agricultural production is a burden for the natural environment. The paper’s objective is to assess the energy use efficiency, GHG emissions, and provide an economic analysis of buckwheat production for Central Europe (Poland). The analysis and comparison involved two production systems: low-input and high-input ones. The experiment involved three varieties of buckwheat, Panda, Volma, and Mancan. The yields for analysis were obtained from the field experiment which was set up in 3k-p fractional design was applied in two replications in which at the same time five factors were tested (A—variety, B—mineral fertilisation, C—sowing rate, D—weed control, E—growth regulator). A quartile was used as a statistical tool to select production systems. A high-input buckwheat production regime required, on average, 74.00% more energy than a low-input system. The total mean energy input for three varieties ranged from 7532.7 to 13,106.9 MJ ha−1 for low- and high-input systems, respectively. The results show that the energy use efficiency, specific energy, and net energy gain for the low-input system were on average 1.51, 9.6 MJ kg−1, and 3878.8 MJ ha−1, respectively, for the investigated varieties. For the high-input system, it was 1.35, 10.9 MJ kg−1, 4529.9 MJ ha−1, respectively. The total CO2 equivalent emissions during buckwheat production were higher for the high-input system than for the low-input system by more than 40%. The economic analysis demonstrated that the high-input system had better economic efficiency (without EU payment), 1.01 on average, than the low-input system, 1.07 on average. The international literature does not offer research on energy analysis for the production of common buckwheat and GHG emissions. The findings of this study demonstrate how the production systems affect energy and economic efficiency as well as GHG emissions. The authors suggest further research in Europe and globally, particularly on the energy use efficiency and GHG emissions in the production of common buckwheat, to verify the present results and improve production technologies (reduce inputs and costs).
