Description: An energy model analysis was performed on conventional, reduced and zero tillage practices, as well as on the use of manufactured and manure fertilizers for silage corn production. The energy evaluation followed process analysis and included all energy inputs through the farm gate, including indirect energy sequestered in the machines and materials used. This analysis was integrated with observations of large plot experiments of the same tillage and fertilizer systems conducted in 1983 on a sandy loam and a clay soil in Quebec. The results showed that reduced or zero tillage can save estimated input energy and costs without losing productivity, and that the application of manure as a nitrogen source considerably increases the energy productivity of the operation.

Keywords: energy analysis model of various tillage and fertilizer treatments on corn silage production
