Abstract
Food Estates is a government scheme to feed a rising population. Field data demonstrate the usage of diesel fuel, electricity, and chemicals to apply insecticides, fertilisers, and fungicides, which harms the environment and requires energy-saving methods. This study examines Bliss potato cultivation energy ratios. This research examined 0.13 hectares of potato farming energy. Machinery, human resources, diesel fuel, chemicals, fertilisers, manure, irrigation water, seeds, and power are studied in potato production. Low energy ratio (0.724) compared to sample yield (4.3). The energy ratio rises with yield generation, but yield per unit of energy is low. A negative net energy balance exists. The research advises increasing potato output to meet energy ratios. Potato farmers may save money, minimize environmental impact, and increase productivity by improving energy efficiency.
