Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of energy use in wheat production in Çarşamba district of Samsun province. The study also aimed to analyse the wheat production costs and the profitability. The research data were collected from randomly selected 54 wheat producers by using a questionnaire. The values of energy use efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy and net energy were used to explore the efficiency of energy use in wheat production. The research results showed that total energy consumption in wheat was diesel (44.61%). Chemical fertilizers (23.54%) mainly nitrogen, irrigation water (10.58%), seed (10.11%), machinery (9.86%), chemicals (0.92%) and labor (0.38%) followed the diesel. Energy output was 84427.33 MJ ha-1. Energy use efficiency, spesific energy, energy productivity and net energy for wheat production were 2.36, 8.96 MJ kg-1, 0.112 kg MJ-1 and 48690.20 MJ ha-1, respectively. The benefit-cost ratio was 0.64. Integrated pest control techniques should be put in practice to improve pesticide use and energy inefficient fertilizer applicaiton should be transformed to efficient one to reduce negative effects to environment, human health, maintaining sustainability and decreasing production costs.
