dc.description.abstractThe study aimed to determine the energy consumption efficiency of citrus\rproduction in enterprises that applied and did not apply Good Agricultural\rPractices (GAP) in Turkey's Mersin province. Total of 89 citrus producers applied\rgood agricultural practices in Mersin in 2013 and the survey was conducted with\rall the producers and 26 of these producers produced orange, 28 of these\rproducers produced tangerines, and 35 of these producers produced lemon. In\rthe study, for comparing the enterprises, the same survey was also carried out\rwith the same number of producers who did not apply good agricultural practices.\rLabor, machinery, diesel, farmyard manure, fertilizers, pesticides, electricity, and\rwater in irrigation were calculated as energy inputs, and citrus production\rquantities were calculated as outputs. According to research results, fertilizers\rwere determined as the most energy-consuming inputs in citrus production. The\renergy use efficiency values were 1.83 and 1.53 in orange production, 1.75 and\r1.48 in tangerine production, 1.66 and 1.34 in lemon production in the enterprises\rthat applied and did not apply good agricultural practices. Therefore, the energy\ruse efficiency that applied good agricultural practices in enterprises was\rdetermined to be higher. Energy productivity results showed that citrus producers\rwho applied good agricultural practices could produce more output than citrus\rproducers who did not apply good agricultural practices. Specific energy results\rindicated that the citrus enterprises that applied good agricultural practices\rconsumed less energy to produce one kg of the product than those that did not\rapply good agricultural practices. Non-renewable energy shares were lower in\renterprises that used good agricultural practices than in the other group.\rAccording to the study's findings, Citrus production enterprises that applied good\ragricultural practices were more profitable in Mersin province.
