Determination of mechanization level, energy input output and carbon footprint analysis in wheat, sunflower and grape production in Tekirdag region

In this study, mechanization levels, energy input-output analyzes and carbon footprint analyzes were carried out in Wheat, Sunflower and Grape production in Tekirdağ Region. Research data were obtained from the producers producing 50 Grapes, 50 Sunflowers and 50 Wheat by face-to-face survey method. Tractor-equipment information, fuel consumption, labor costs, etc. in production processes. Production details up to the harvest period were examined. In conclusion; The total energy consumption value per unit wheat, sunflower and grape production area was calculated as 24933.43 MJ/ha, 18366.19 MJ/ha, 24513.77 MJ/ha, respectively. It was determined that the highest Carbon Emission value in Wheat was achieved in Fertilization with 529.57 kgCO2/ha value, in Sunflower in Spraying with 6657.02 kgCO2/ha value, and in Grapes with 5286.62 kgCO2/ha value in Spraying process. Wheat Sunflower and Grape mechanization level indicator kW/ha values of the researched region were determined as 2.73 kW/ha in Wheat, 3.41 kW/ha in Sunflower and 3.15 kW/ha in Grape, respectively.
