Abstract:
In this study, energy balance in grown crop main crop corn was revealed in Adana. Main data used in this study, such as economical life, labor success, fuel-oil consumptions, machine weights of the tools and machines used in second crop sunflower and fertilizer, irrigation, seed amounts have been obtained from the other studies, various sources and catalogues.
As a result of the evaluations energy output/input rate was obtained as 4.02, the specific energy value was obtained 3.63, net energy production was obtained 93094.19 MJ/ha in grown corn. For the grown corn, fertilizer energy was the highest energy with 50.41 in total energy budget followed by fuel-oil energy and irrigation energy with 17.98% and 15.45% respectively.
