Comparison of energy consumption of rice production in lands with equipping and renovation plan and without it (Case study: Bandar Anzali city)

Existence of small and scattered lands and non-geometric properties, lack of road network between farms and lack of aggregation of agricultural parts of each farmer, etc. cause the cost of production to increase at different stages of production. The ultimate goal in agricultural production is to reduce costs and increase production efficiency. By using advanced tools related to each stage of production and the so-called mechanization of production, the farmer's concern in providing production factors and inputs to perform tasks and critical times on time is reduced. In order to justify the implementation of the plan to equip and renovate lands in paddy fields, the amount of energy consumed in rice production of paddy fields in the stages before planting, planting, holding and harvesting rice in ten paddy fields where the plan of equipping and renovating lands was implemented and ten paddies without a plan In Bandar Anzali district, four duties were examined, which showed a decrease of 6448.27 megajoules per hectare of total energy consumption in rice production. The results show a reduction in reliance on labor (which is a limiting factor in agricultural production) and the import of agricultural implements with high farm capacity also leads to increased speed and convenience of agricultural work for farmers. Integration and suitable dimensions of land, creating irrigation and drainage canals, ease of entry and use of agricultural implements and mechanization of different stages from tillage to after harvest, reducing water and seed consumption, which are the most important inputs used, are the main reasons for this amount. Reduce energy consumption.
