| Abstract/Description: | Input energy assessment has been carried out for the greenhouse cultivation of tomato and it has been compared with the input energy for the open field cultivation. The assessment indicates that the energy input per unit produce is 1.7 MJ/kg under open field cultivation. The input energy requirements for greenhouse cultivation increase due to the greenhouse frame, glazing, inorganic fertilizers and environmental control and are estimated to be 4.2 MJ/kg at the minimum. The energy requirements under north Indian plains are likely to be 32 MJ/kg or more with the traditional methods of environmental control. The assessment of input energy in the two crop production systems indicates the priorities for input energy optimizations. |
