Özet:

 The purpase of this study was to determine the amount of input-output energy used in different harvest systems in baled alfalfa hay production in Tekirdağ province, Turkey. Data were collected from 176 alfalfa farms in 2019-2020. The simple random sampling method was used to determine survey volume. Harvesting systems consisting of different tool-machine combinations are used in alfalfa production. The capacities and features of the machines used are quite different from each other. In harvesting systems; baler type rectangularround, number and frequency of use of the conditioner rake were taken into account. Therefore, the studied population was divided into six groups based on different harvesting systems H1-6. In addition, according to the number of mowing 1,2,3,4,5,6; The energy consumption of the harvesting systems used was determined. While alfalfa production was taken into consideration in the first cutting process, the applications made after the cutting process were taken into account in the single mowing process. Results showed that the energy use efficiency, energy productivity and net energy varied according to the type of bale machine used and the number of conditioners. The total energy input and output in harvesting systems was highly variable. The highest share of input energy was recorded for diesel fuels-oil 38.77 and N fertilizer 24.89. The fuel energy of 3244.57 MJha-1 was calculated in the H6 system for the highest amount of fuel used per unit area. Due to the increase in the number of use of conditioner equipment and the number of mowing, energy consumption has also increased. When mowing six times; 1248.57 MJha-1 machine energy consumption was calculated in the harvesting system using rectangular baler, and 1751.07 MJha-1 machine energy consumption in the harvesting system using round baler. The highest total energy input first cutting was 8179.41 MJha-1, 8377.54 MJha-1 in the systems using round baler H5-H6. The lowest specific energy was calculated 2.94 MJkg-1, 3.17 MJkg-1 in the systems using rectangular baler H3-H4.

 Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Tekirdağ ilinde balya formunda yonca kuru otu üretiminde kullanılan farklı hasat sistemlerinin girdi ve çıktı enerjilerini belirlemektir. Veriler 2019 yılında 176 yonca işletmesinden toplanmıştır. Çalışılan işletme sayısını belirlemek için tesadüf örnekleme metodu kullanılmıştır. Hasat sistemleri, yonca üretiminde kullanılan farklı alet ve makina kombinasyonlarından oluşmaktadır. Kullanılan makinaların özellikleri ve kapasitesi birbirinden oldukça farklıdır. Hasat sistemlerinde; balya makinası dikdörtgenler prizmasısilindirik, şartlandırıcı tırmıkların kullanım sıklığı ve sayıları dikkate alınmıştır. Bu nedenle, çalışma gruplarında 6 farklı hasat sistemi oluşturulmuştur H1-6. İlave olarak, biçim sayısına göre 1,2,3,4,5,6 hasat sistemlerinin enerji tüketimleri de incelenmiştir. İlk biçim prosesi olarak yonca üretimi dikkate alınırken, tek biçim prosesi olarak kesme işleminden sonraki uygulamalar dikkate alınmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları enerji kullanım etkinliği, enerji üretkenliği, net enerji üretiminin balya makinası çeşidine, şartlandırıcı kullanım sayısına göre değiştiğini göstermiştir. Hasat sistemlerinde toplam girdi ve çıktı enerji değerleri oldukça değişken olmuştur. En yüksek enerji girdisi oranı yakıt 38.77 ve azotlu gübrelemede 24.89 kaydedilmiştir. En yüksek kullanılan yakıt miktarına karşılık olarak birim alan için toplam H6 sisteminde 3244.57 MJha-1 yakıt enerjisi hesaplanmıştır. Şartlandırıcı ekipman kullanım sayısının artışı ve biçim sayısının artmasına bağlı olarak enerji tüketimleri de artmıştır. Altı biçim yapıldığında; dikdörtgenler prizması şeklinde balya yapan balya makinası kullanılan hasat sisteminde 1248.57 MJha-1 makina enerjisi tüketimi, silindirik balya makinası kullanılan hasat sisteminde ise 1751.07 MJha-1 makina enerjisi tüketimi hesaplanmıştır. En yüksek toplam enerji girdisi ilk biçim silindirik balya makinasının kullanıldığı sistemlerde H5-H6 8179.41 MJha-1, 8377.54 MJha-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. En düşük özgül enerji dikdörtgen balya makinası kullanılan sistemlerde H3-H4 2.94 MJkg-1, 3.17 MJkg-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır.
