Abstract

Iran is considered as among the greatest emitters of greenhouse gasses in the world. Agricultural sector plays a remarkable role in non-renewable energy consumption, and thus, the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS are great within the whole country. Within this context, the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of watermelon production (as the most important melons produced in Guilan Province, Iran) were investigated as through the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach The primary data were gathered using the questionnaires and face to face interviews with 58 watermelon producers in Kiashahr region of Guilan Province in 2014. The ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS were classified into six categories including GLOBAL WARMING, acidification, TERRESTRIAL EUTROPHICATION, depletion of fossil resources, and depletion of phosphate and potash resources. Results revealed that the TERRESTRIAL EUTROPHICATION (0.185) followed by depletion of phosphate resources (0.116) exerted the highest negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, efficient use of chemical fertilizers, specially nitrogen fertilizers and instead replacing them with a variety of organic fertilizers accompanied by use of biofertilizers can reduce the negative ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of watermelon production in terms of TERRESTRIAL EUTROPHICATION and phosphorus fertilizer groups in Guilan Province, Iran.
