Abstract

The greenhouse gas emission values obtained from agricultural activities such as tillage, pruning, spraying, fertilizing, harvesting and transporting etc. are not at a negligible level when compared to other sectors. Each practice has an energy input amount. There have been studies on many agricultural products all over the World. Therefore, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions associated with agricultural processes were compared in this study with selected berry, nut and citrus fruits.
As a result; when the greenhouse gas emission equivalent values are examined on a fruit basis, strawberry fruit has 34517.75 kg CO2-eq per ha amount has the highest input. Wolfberry fruit also follows strawberry fruit with a value of 20718.66 kgCO2-eq per ha. The minimum greenhouse gas emission equivalent is in tangerine fruit with 399.89 kg CO2-eq per ha.
