Abstract
Energy analysis (input-output) of Redgram production systems in Vikarabad district of Telangana State. Surveys conducted at the farms that cultivate Redgram in Vikarabad district, in the 2021. Sixty farms that produce Redgram were interviewed face to face. The results revealed that in Redgram production systems total energy input was 19289.61MJ/ha. The highest share of energy consumed was recorded for N fertilizer (78.29%) which is a nonrenewable resource. Output Energy was 11025 MJ/ha. Accordingly, energy efficiency(output input ratio) was 3.11, energy productivity calculated as 0.021 KgMJ-1 and specific energy was observed as 45.7 MJKg-1, agrochemical energy ratio was 0.82 % and energy intensiveness was 1.14.
Keywords: Redgram, energy use, energy productivity, specific energy, net energy
