Abstract

With regard to careless consumption of fossil fuels in Iran and the resulting greenhouse gases emissions and related risks to the environment and human health, many attempts are undertaking to control the consumption. The agricultural sector is no exception from this vital and important issue. The objectives of this research were: (1) to determine amount of fuel consumption and related ENERGY use in WHEAT fields in Gorgan, (2) to estimate environmental impact of consumed fuel using GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL (GWP), and (3) to explore options to optimize fuel consumption. Data were gathered from 6 representative fields by monitoring production practices and inputs used. Data were analyzed with regard to fuel consumption, ENERGY inputs related to consumed fuel and greenhouse gases emission from the consumed fossil fuels. Fuel ranged between 53 to 123 L ha-1 and the ENERGY of the consumed fuel varied between 2026 and 4664 MJ ha-1. Results indicated that seedbed preparation had the highest rate of fuel consumption (59.5% of total) that followed by harvesting, irrigation and sowing operation, 10.5, 9.4 and 8.1%, respectively. Average of greenhouse gases emission (CO2, CH4 and N2O) from the consumed fossil fuels was estimated as 244 kg equivalent CO2 ha-1. It concluded that through better farm management and more research it is possible to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emission.
