The purpose of this study is to reveal the energy usage and greenhouse gas emission in lavender production. has been conducted 2022 Center district Kırklareli province Turkey covers 2021-2022 production seasons. Agricultural inputs outputs were calculated calculate use emissions According research results, are 5883.39 MJ ha-1 (59.30%) farmyard manure energy, 2425.51 (24.45%) diesel fuel 732.02 ...

China’s kiwi industry has seen rising production costs and shrinking planting areas in recent years; at the same time, lack of professional standards leads to input redundancy waste factors process kiwifruit, which intensifies dilemma unsustainable agricultural production. This brought more serious challenges sustainable development industry. In order solve this problem clarify composition util...

Dry-grind technology has become the dominant method for ethanol production. During drygrind ethanol production, roughly one-third of the dry grain mass resides in the dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) as by-products (i.e., ∼0.8 kg/L ethanol). The energy content residing in the 0.8 kg DDGS is about 20 MJ, compared to the consumption of 1 MJ electricity and 10 MJ thermal energy for pro...

Fuel calorific value is an important parameter in fire behaviour. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for determining the calorific value of fuel. Fifty samples of various fuel components from the Mediterranean forest (17.1–24.6 MJ⋅kg–1) were used to establish a calibration equation between NIR spectra (1100–2500 nm) an...

Rice-based cropping systems (RBCS) are a kingpin of global food security and rice fallow is one the largest (>14 m ha) RBCS. A three-year study was carried out to develop sustainable intensification options efficient nutrient management protocols RBCS with greater water energy productivity more profits. Rice-lentil, rice-linseed rice-rapeseed were tested in split-plot design practices involv...

The present study aimed to compare the effects of equal-volume resistance training performed with single-joint (SJ) or multi-joint exercises (MJ) on VO2max, muscle strength and body composition in physically active males. Thirty-six participants were divided in two groups: SJ group (n = 18, 182.1 ± 5.2, 80.03 ± 2.78 kg, 23.5 ± 2.7 years) exercised with only SJ exercises (e.g., dumbbell fly, kne...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of body composition on average daily metabolic rate (ADMR) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in adolescence, and to examine current BMR prediction equations. STUDY Dutch adolescents were pooled with previously reported American and British subjects (n = 90 overall). BMR and ADMR were analysed by multiple regression. RESULTS Fat-free mass, BMR, and ADMR were higher...
