Tillage Effects on Energy Use Efficiency in Safflower Production in Middle Anatolia

In this study conducted in province of Konya, the effect on grain yield andenergy productivity of three different tillage methods (conventional tillage,reduced tillage and direct seeding) in safflower production were investigated.Yield values obtained were 921 kg ha-1for conventional tillage, 903 kg ha-1forreduced tillage, and 822 kg ha-1for direct seeding. In growing of safflower, itwas found that the highest share in total input energy is fertilizer energy, followed by fuel-oil, seed, herbicide and machine energy respectively. In conventional tillage, reduced tillage and direct seeding, the share of fuel-oil energy intotal input were 22.05%, 13.83%, 6.15% respectively. The highest value 5.63of the energy output-input rate was obtained from direct seeding. This rate was5.23 for reduced tillage, and 4.79 for conventional tillage. Of all these methods,direct seeding had the least energy consumption per safflower plant produced,which was found as 3.47 MJ kg-1. The highest value was also obtained in conventional tillage as 4.03 MJ kg-1.
