Carbon footprint and energy use in jute and allied fibre production
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018 The study examines carbon and energy footprints of jute, kenaf, sunnhemp and flax fibre production systems. Energy productivity was lowest in flax fibre production as compared to other fibre crops. Flax fibre production consumed more chemical fertilizer,
