The main purpose of this study was to determine energy use efficiency in greenhouse cucumber production using a non-parametric production function. Energy use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber producers was studied and degrees of technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE) and...

In this study, DEA (data envelopment analysis) was applied to analyze the energy efficiency of wheat farms in order to separate efficient and inefficient growers and to calculate the wasteful uses of energy. Additionally, the degrees of TE (technical efficiency), PTE (pure technical efficiency)...
