Determination of Energy Balance and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) of Cotton Cultivation in Turkey: A Case Study from Bismil District of Diyarbakır Province

In this study, the energy balance and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) of cotton cultivation in Bismil district Diyarbakır province Turkey was defined. The GHG computed by conducting face to surveys with 73 farms 2018-2019 season, which were selected simple random sampling method. input output as 54 617.62 MJ ha-1 65 984.42 ha-1, respectively. Energy inputs occurs electricity 18 608.40 (34.06%), chemical fertilizers 15 254.67 (27.93%), diesel fuel 14 364.68 (26.30%), irrigation water 3 559.50 (6.53%), machinery 1 152.79 (2.11%), chemicals 075.76 (1.96%), seed 307.98 (0.57%), human labour 293.84 (0.54%), Total can be classified 67.43% direct, 32.57% indirect, 7.62% renewable 92.38% non-renewable. use efficiency, specific energy, productivity net 1.21, 9.77 kg-1, 0.10 kg MJ-1 11 366.80 emissions 6 482.36 kgCO2-eqha-1 for greatest part 47.94% (3 107.60 kgCO2-eqha-1). followed up nitrogen 16.29% (1 055.67 kgCO2-eqha-1), 14.82% (960.50 10.86% (704.08 3.07% (199.14 ), 2.28% (147.76 phosphorous 1.78% (115.64 1.62% (104.94 1.26% (81.85 kgCO2-eqha-1) potassium 0.08% (5.18 Additionally, ratio value 1.16 kgCO2-eqkg-1 cultivation.
