Description
Summary:The article defines the characteristics of energy consumption in crop production. The process of production in the aspect of energy conversion in terms of renewable and non-renewable sources has been considered. The basic prerequisites for achieving energy efficiency in crop production were analyzed. A classification of characteristics of energy consumption in crop production, which determine the level of use of means and objects of work, as well as the ultimate efficiency of production, has been proposed. The indicated characteristics have been studied in detail in terms of the groups of factors (relative to bio-climatic conditions, technological level of production development, degree of technical support, organizational and economic variables of production development). The appropriate reasons for the uneven rates of growth of energy consumption in crop production and the production output volumes have been identified.
