Synonyms

Assessment of Energy Use in Punjab Agriculture; Energy Consumption Pattern in Punjab Agriculture; On-farm Energy Use in Punjab Agriculture

Definition

  • The share of direct energy (DE) in total energy use (52.4%) is higher than the indirect input energy on Punjab farms except in sugarcane. Electricity as DE and fertilizers in the form of IDE are the major energy sinks for cultivation of different crops

  • The specific energy on the basis of economic yield is significantly high in cotton (10.76 MJ/Kg) followed by paddy (6.77 MJ/Kg) while it lies below 5 MJ/Kg for rest of the crops. High energy intensity indicates that there exists an opportunity for improving energy productivity of crop cultivation in the state

  • In terms of total input-output energy, net energy gain, and energy use efficiency, the sugarcane production occupies the top rank followed by paddy among seasonal crops

  • Sugarcane cultivation needs highest human labor energy in absolute terms during the year but the share of...
