Abstract

Erratic global climate conditions endanger agricultural production's viability. Tailoring tillage practices to specific agro-ecological conditions is crucial for reducing energy use and carbon emissions. The objectives of this research were to investigate the energy consumption and carbon emissions of various tillage methods for cowpea production in the Savanah environment, as well as the impact of the tillage methods on cowpea bean yield. A field experiment was carried out using cowpea (Ife brown), and four tillage treatments were tested: minimum without stubble (M), minimum with stubble (Ms), conventional without stubble (Cw), and conventional with stubble (Cs). The experiment was designed as a randomised complete block with three replications. Fuel consumed by the different tillage systems were measured directly and converted to energy and emission using standard procedure. Significant (P < 0.05) differences were found between tillage methods in terms of specific fuel use, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and bean production. The specific fuel consumption for M, Ms, CW and Cs were 39.38, 40.89, 42.01 and 98.70 L/ton, respectively. The specific energy consumptions were 2.61, 2.96, 4.17and 5.52GJ/ton, respectively. The specific CO2 emissions were 161.28, 182.45, 259.17 and 338.59 KgCO2/ton, respectively. In terms of energy usage, and CO2 emissions the minimum tillage method without stubble was the most efficient.

Abstract

Pelletizing remains one of the most economical and technologically advanced techniques for producing fish feed. The quality characteristics of the resulting pellets are influenced by several operational variables, which, when improperly controlled, can lead to suboptimal feed quality. This research work optimizes some operational parameters including die size, shaft speed and feeding rate of an indigenous fish meal pelletizing machine for productivity, efficiency, power consumption and specific energy consumption. Mixed fish feed materials were pelletized at 29, 31 and 31m/s die speed, loaded onto the pelleting machine at different feeding rates (15, 20, and 25kg/hr) and die hole (3, 4, 5). The RSM was employed to improve the machine performance by analysing the impact of multiple operational variables on the response including productivity, efficiency, power consumption and specific energy consumption. The interaction of the operational parameters and response factors were established through Quadratic models. The impact of the operational parameters on productivity, efficiency, power consumption and specific energy consumption were significant (p ?0.01). The optimal condition of the process for die speed, die hole and feeding rate were 31m/s, 5mm and 20kg/hr, respectively, resulting in machine productivity, efficiency, power consumption and specific energy consumption of 82.02kg/hr, 86.09%, 2.55kW, and 0.029 kWh/kg, respectively. This indicates that the fish meal pelletising machine ran efficiently under optimal conditions, therefore validating the generated models.
