Analyzing and choosing the optimal model of agriculture product energy based on MOTAD model
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 23
Abstract
Agriculture, in concept of ways and methods of utilization ofenergy, soil and water sources, in order to provide nutritional and clothing needs of humans, is and was the basis of many Economical, political and Cultural developments throughout the world during history.this Study was performed by using of MOTAD liner model in Ardabil province in the year 2013 to asset the surveying and determining the energy and choosing optimal energy modelon chosen plants (Wheat, barley, potato and alfalfa). To do this, the physical, chemical and biochemical inputs (physico-chemical and biochemical inputs) have been surveyed which were collected during five years from 2006 to 2011. The achieved result based on MOTAD’s linear programming model indicates that alfalfa is in the highest level of energy efficiency.Barley is in second ranking and Dryland wheat and irrigated wheat and potato, respectively, are in third, fourth and fifth ranking of energy efficiency level. Therefore, potato and irrigated wheat production need more energy than aforementioned selected products. So barley cultivation is more affordable and cost effective. According to the achieved results, a positive and nonlinear relationship was seen between input energy and production. Therefore, there is a range to product due to increasing of input energy that is usefulto increase the level of production and Agricultural mechanization development.
