“…There are a number of goals set forth in the development plans in Turkey and these goals shape the national agricultural policies. The 11 th Development Plan (2019)(2020)(2021)(2022)(2023) regulates that agricultural policies should be sustainable in environmental, social and economic terms; provide an adequate and balanced nutrition for the public; increase international competitiveness through a production system that addresses the supply-demand balance; overcome infrastructure problems based on an advanced technology; and be highly organized and productive (Bayav, 2022).…”

The purpose of this study is to reveal the energy usage and greenhouse gas emission in lavender production. The study has been conducted in 2022 in Center district of Kırklareli province in Turkey and covers the 2021-2022 production seasons. Agricultural inputs and outputs were calculated to calculate the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in lavender production. According to the research results, the inputs are 5883.39 MJ ha-1 (59.30%) farmyard manure energy, 2425.51 MJ ha-1 (24.45%) diesel fuel energy, 732.02 MJ ha-1 (7.38%) chemical fertilizers energy, 421.89 MJ ha-1 (4.25%) machinery energy, 276.70 MJ ha-1 (2.79%) human labour energy, 97.31 MJ ha-1 (0.98%) transportation energy and 84.81 MJ ha-1 (0.85%), vermicompost energy, respectively. Total input and output energy were calculated as 9921.63 MJ ha-1 and 12859.77 MJ ha-1, respectively. Energy use efficiency (EUE), specific energy (SE), energy productivity (EP) and net energy (NE) were calculated as 1.30, 2.86 MJ kg-1, 0.35 kg MJ-1 and 2938.13 MJ ha-1, respectively. The total energy input can be classified as 27.24% direct, 72.76% indirect, 62.94% renewable and 37.06% non-renewable. GHG ratio value was calculated as 0.08 kg CO2-eqkg-1 in lavender production.

“…

Apple is one of the world's most traded fruit, and consumer demand is changing rapidly (Bayav and Armağan, 200;Bayav, 2023) . Apple is an important fruit type that has been cultivated in Türkiye for many years, ranks first among other temperate climate fruit in terms of cultivated area and production (Küden et al, 1997;Bayav and Karlı, 2020;2021), and contributes to employment in marketing, packaging, processing and storage stages (Burak and Ergun, 2001) World apple production reached 93,144,358 tons.

In this study, the effects of postharvest calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2.2H2O), rosehip essential oil (REO) (cold pressed), and CaCl2.2H2O+REO combination edible coating applications on some fruit quality parameters and storage life of ‘Starkrimson Delicious’ (‘S. Delicious’), ‘Golden Delicious’ (‘G. Delicious’) and ‘Granny Smith’ (‘G. Smith’) apple cultivars were investigated. For this purpose, the fruit was divided into four groups after harvest: 1st group: Fruit was dipped in distilled water (control), 2nd group: Fruit was dipped in 1.5% CaCl2.2H2O, 3rd group: Fruit was dipped in 2% REO, 4th group: Fruit was dipped in 1.5% CaCl2.2H2O+REO (%2) to form an edible coating on fruit. Before and during storage at periodical intervals weight loss, fruit color, fruit flesh color, fruit flesh firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, pH, respiration rate, ethylene production, sensory evaluations (overall quality, taste and aroma, odor, decay) superficial scald, and superficial scald severity analyzes were performed. In the ‘S. Delicious’, the lowest weight loss was in CaCl2.2H2O+REO during and at the end of storage, REO had the lowest in the ‘G. Delicious’. ‘G. Smith’ had lower weight loss in CaCl2.2H2O and the control group than the others. The REO preserved the fruit flesh firmness better than others with the least loss. REO was the most effective treatment in suppressing ethylene production in all cultivars, followed by CaCl2.2H2O+REO. In ‘S. Delicious’ and ‘G. Smith’, fruit color and vividness of fruit color were best preserved by REO. As a result, postharvest edible coating applications of CaCl2.2H2O, REO, and CaCl2.2H2O+REO in ‘S. Delicious’, ‘G. Delicious’ and ‘G. Smith’ had positive contributions in maintaining fruit quality attributes during storage.
