Energy analysis of paddy production

Energy analysis is essential for efficient management of the resources in agricultural production. The study was carried out on energy requirement and energy input output relationship of paddy production in konkan region of Maharashtra state. Different farm operations from land preparation to storage were considered for finding the energy consumption in paddy cultivation. Primary data were obtained through field survey. Data were collected from Agronomy field of Balasaheb Sawant Kokan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli in the year 2017-2018.

Paddy straw is one of the major agriculture waste produced in India. Burning of paddy straw is one of the easy options for farmers due to its difficult handling which produces environmental problem generating greenhouse gases. Size reduction of paddy straw is necessary for almost it’s every possible utilization for biofuel production. Torrefaction mainly used to process lignocellulosic biomass that makes them easily cut, chop or grind. Torrefaction was carried out at 250°C for 20 and 30 minutes and compared its effect on energy requirement for size reduction with that of raw paddy straw.
