Investigating the Energy Consumption and Economic Indices for Sweet-Cherry and Sour-Cherry Production in Northeastern Iran
The aim of this study was to investigate the energy consumption and production costs of sweet-cherry and sour-cherry in Northeastern Iran. Required data were collected from 75 sweet-cherry and 42 sour-cherry producers. The total energy inputs in sweet-cherry and sour-cherry production were estimated...
