The main material of the study was the data obtained from 189 strawberry producers in Batman province and its districts by survey method. The average strawberry yield in the research area was found to be 36,846.37 kg/ha. Total energy input in strawberry production was found to be 47,060.93 MJ/ha and energy output was found to be 70,008.10 MJ/ha. In strawberry production, energy use efficiency was 1.48, energy productivity was 0.78 kg/MJ, specific energy was 1.28 MJ/kg and net energy was 22,947.17 MJ/ha. The shares of direct, indirect, renewable and non-renewable energy sources were as 38.57%, 61.43%, 18.92% and 81.08%, respectively. Total greenhouse gas emission was determined as 3155.56 kgCO2eq ha-1 and greenhouse gas emission rate was determined as 0.086 kgCO2eqkg-1. It was concluded that fertilizer input had the highest share in strawberry input energy equivalents and greenhouse gas emissions. Since the energy use efficiency is higher than 1, it is possible to say that the inputs are used efficiently, but this ratio can be increased by using more efficient inputs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnergy productivityEnergy ratioNet energySpecific energyRenewable energyArticle66621932202N/AWOS:001328914200001N/A2-s2.0-8520559559910.1007/s10341-024-01207-4
