Analysis of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of transplanting and broadcast seeding wetland rice cultivation

The analysis of energy and greenhouse gas emissions in this study was made in respect to both planting methods, transplanting and broadcast seeding methods to investigate the energy pattern of rice production in Malaysia. The field under transplanting method in the main season showed 8.72% lesser me...

description The analysis of energy and greenhouse gas emissions in this study was made in respect to both planting methods, transplanting and broadcast seeding methods to investigate the energy pattern of rice production in Malaysia. The field under transplanting method in the main season showed 8.72% lesser mean total energy input, 6.25% higher mean machinery energy, 55.06% lesser mean seed energy and 23.01%higher mean output energy than the field under broadcasting method. Fertilizer the highest contributor of energy inputs it contributed by 62% in both transplanting and broadcasting methods and fuel was the second-highest contributor. The share of direct and indirect energy in the fields under the transplanting method were 19% and 81% and in the fields under the broadcasting method were 17% and 83%respectively. While the share of renewable and non-renewable energy in the fields under the trans-planting method were 7% and 93% and in the fields under the broadcasting method were 14% and 86%respectively. The harvesting operation has the highest mechanization index level (0.99) in both methods. While fertilizing and planting operation have the lowest mechanization index level. The mean energy ratio was 35.68% higher in transplanting than broadcasting (8.1 and 5.97). Fertilizer represents the highest contributor to the total GHG emissions in the two cultivation methods, transplanting and broadcasting and it represents 44% and 42% respectively. Among different types of chemical fertilizers, Nitrogen represents the higher contributor.
