Comparative energy use in cassava production under different farming technologies in Kwara State of Nigeria

One of the main components production expenses in agricultural operations is energy. The effectiveness its application frequently impacted favor other equally important aspects. energy utilization cassava three distinct farm sizes and technologies Kwara State, Nigeria, was investigated using parametric equations. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on output from 175 farmers. Farms separated into groups: group 1 (no mechanization), 2 (partial 3 (complete mechanization) (full mechanization). There 92 farms Group (1–5 ha), 54 (6–15 29 (16–50 ha). Human labor, machinery, diesel fuel, chemicals, seed, fertilizers as inputs influenced yield. Cassava 4904.87 MJ/ha/tonne small-scale farms, 36352.04 medium-scale 96257.93 large-scale according study's findings. In study region, average 107,632 MJ/ha, 604,800 2,016,000 MJ/ha various farms. input-output ratios for types calculated be 16.13, 16.69, 20.94 respectively. Cobb–Douglas function calculate impacts outputs. medium indirect non-renewable contributed significantly more yield than direct renewable fertilizers, seed statistically significant contributors productivity, empirical
