DETERMINING THE ENERGY UTILIZATION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (GHG) OF QUINOA PRODUCTION

摘要

In this research, energy output-input ratio, specific energy, energy productivity, net energy, energy type, GHG emission and GHG ratio calcula-tions were performed. This research was performed during the 2018 production season in Karaman province of Turkey. Trials and research data calcu-lations contain the 2018 production season.Energy inputs in quinoa production were calculated as 5543.77 MJ ha-, energy output was calculated as 10467.47 MJ ha'.In quinoa production,42.46%of the energy inputs consists of diesel fuel energy (2353.76 MJ ha'),29.16% consists of chemical fertilizers energy(1616.40 MJ ha-),18.94% con-sists of organic fertilizer energy(1050 MJ hal), 4.34%consists of machinery energy(240.50 MJ ha ),3.32%consists of seed energy(184.10 MJ ha'), 0.91%consists of chemicals energy(50.60 MJ ha1)and 0.87%consists of human labour energy(48.41 MJ ha-). Energy use efficiency, specific energy, energy productivity and net energy in quinoa pro-duction were calculated as 1.89,2.77 MJ kgl,0.36 kg MJ and 4923.70 MJ ha',respectively.The utilized total energy input in quinoa production could be classified as 43.33% direct,56.67% indi-rect, 23.33%renewable and 76.87%non-renewable. Total GHG emissions were calculated as 382.42 kgCO,.egha'for quinoa production with the greatest input part for chemical fertilizers (ni-trogen,phosphorous)usage(35.70%). The chemi-cal fertilizers usage followed up diesel fuel usage (30.17%), seed usage(19.95%),human labour usage(4.52%), machinery usage(4.47%),organic fertilizer usage (3.37%)and chemicals usage (1.82%),respectively.Additionally,GHG ratio value was calculated as 0.19 kgCO2eqkg' in qui-noa production.
