A research on the determination of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in corn production in Harran plain

Due to global climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) analyzes for agricultural production systems are becoming more common with energy analyzes. In this study, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Harran Plain due fuel consumption first crop seed corn were evaluated. A total of 100 face-to-face surveys conducted a producers and data collected on processes. The calculations determine CO2 released as result based proposed method calculation fuel-based Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC). oil per unit area (ha) different field applications is 98 l/ha Plain. corresponds 3645.89 MJ/ha consumption, resulting 269.6 kg hectare. specific productivity, emission, efficiency, efficiency determined be 8.91 l/t, 3.02 kg/MJ, 24.51 kgCO2/t, 112.22 kg/l, 331.44 MJ/t 40.80 kg/kgCO2, respectively.
