“…Based on these results, the benefit-cost ratio from garlic production in the farms was calculated to be 1.36. These results are consistent with the findings reported by other authors, such as 1.83 and 2.21 for greenhouse and open-field grape (Ozkan et al, 2007) and 1.10 for soybean, 2.03 for wheat, 1.98 for mustard and 2.30 for chickpea (Mandal et al, 2002), 2.58 and 1.88 for cucumber and potato, respectively (Mohammadi et al, 2008, Mohammadi andOmid, 2010 ) by total production costs (6969.11 $ ha -1 ). Table 6 shows the rate of MD in percent in each of machinery operations in garlic cultivation in different levels, separately.…”

“…It is concluded that the energy ratio can be increased by raising the crop yield and/or by decreasing energy input consumption. Similar results such as 0.74 for cotton (Yilmaz et al, 2005), 1.25 for potato (Mohammadi et al, 2008), 2.86 for barley Ghasemi Mobtaker et al, 2010), 0.76 for cucumber, 0.61 for eggplant, 0.99 for pepper (Ozkan et al, 2004) have been reported for different crops. The average energy productivity of garlic was 0.41 kg MJ -1 .…”

“…In a similar study in Turkey, in tomato, pepper, cucumber and eggplant cultivation carried out by fuel and fertilizers (mainly N) accounted for most of total energy inputs (Ozkan et al, 2004). In Iran in wheat, chemical fertilizers, fuel and machinery accounted for around 31.19%, 26.05%, respectively (Safa and Tabatabaeefar, 2002) and in potato chemical fertilizers and fuel were calculated 40.17% and 15.80% respectively (Mohammadi et al, 2008). Table 2, here The energy use efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy, net energy and energy intensiveness of garlic production were presented in Table 3.…”

“…Therefore, research efforts have emphasized energy and economic analysis of various agricultural productions for planning resources in the ecosystem (Singh et al, 2002). Although many experimental works have been conducted on energy use in agriculture such as wheat, maize, sugar beet, grape in Italy (Triolo et al,1987) cotton in Greece (Tsatsarelis, 1991) stake-tomato , cotton (Yilmaz et al, 2005), sugar beet and vegetable (Canakci et al, 2006;Ozkan et al 2004) in Turkey, wheat (Safa and Tabatabaeefar, 2002;Shahan et al, 2008), cucumber (Mohammadi and Omid, 2010), barley (Ghasemi Mobtaker etal., 2010), apple and potato (Mohammadi et al, 2008) in Iran, onion and corn in USA (Moore, 2010), peri-urban horticulture in Colombia (Bojaca and Schrevens,2010), corn in Germany (Kraatz et al, 2009). There can be found no research about garlic.…”

This paper studies the energy balance between the input and the output per unit area for garlic in Hamedan province of Iran. In this study, data were collected by using random sampling method for 136 face to face questioners. Results showed that the highest share of energy consumption belongs to chemical fertilizers (41.7%) followed by diesel (13.94%). The results indicated that a total energy input of 40307.89MJ ha -1 was consumed for garlic production. The energy productivity and net energy value were estimated as 0.416 kg MJ -1 and-13477.82MJ ha -1 , respectively. The ratio of energy outputs to energy inputs was approximately 0.665. The benefit-cost ratio was estimated as 1.36.mechanization degree (MD) was calculated for plowing and disk border were 100% and 20.65%, as the highest and lowest, respectively. The farms of between two to three hectares with 0.89 highest mechanization index (MI) and those Between one to two hectare with 0.6 lowest MI were remarkable.

“…The results indicated a low level of energy efficiency and productivity in Iran agro-ecosystems in accordance with the finding of other researchers (Banaeian and Zangeneh 2011; Kazemi et al 2015;Mohammadi et al 2008). Banaeian and Zangeneh (2011) (2011) proposed that for improving energy use efficiency in Iran, the farmers should be educated regarding the optimal use of inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation water as well as technologies.…”

This study explores gender in the energy inputoutput analysis by comparing the energy indicators in paddy production in female-headed farms and male-headed farms during years of 2014-2015 in Mazandaran Province. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 120 paddy farmers (60 males and 60 females). Energy indicators were calculated for female-and male-headed farms. Results revealed noticeable variations in some important energy indicators between female-and male-headed farms. A significant difference was observed in terms of total energy input. The majority of energy input consumption for both female-and male-headed farms was devoted to diesel fuel, fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, and machinery. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between male-headed and female-headed farms in terms of net energy and specific energy, but energy use efficiency and energy productivity were significantly higher for female-headed farms. Then, it can be argued that gender factor had a significant impact on amount of direct, indirect, and renewable energy inputs. Based on our findings, female-headed rice systems were more efficient, where fossil-based inputs were used more environment friendly than male-headed farms. Finally, targeted ''soft'' policies like gender-sensitive capacity-developing program were proposed.
