If yes, kindly share energy input values and carbon emission equivalents for biological sources like Phosphorus solublizing bacteria (PSB) and AM fungi.
This is a very good question . I have my own doubt , since contribution of PSBs and AMF are so varying , depending upon association of host - soil - environmental - management practices and response function is not so predictive ...
Is this a right question, or does it provide enough information to be answered?
It is mentioned energy efficiency and carbon emission, but from where? In what system you are considering the thermodynamics? And why should they i.e. the mentioned organisms, be considered for carbon emission? If you are talking about natural environments, this question does not even make any sense. You can not calculate any thermodynamic equivalence in any open system. Also, why only these two organisms? If they are in nature, for sure they are in some kind of symbiosis with other organisms and without knowing the details of every contributing elements, any kind of calculation would just be anything but truth/reality.
And what is the definition of "biological source" in this question? Anything is a course of something. If the final product is not mentioned, the question is incomplete.
@abhijeet, thank you for your response. I had a query that, can we calculate energy input and carbon emission equivalent for PSB and AM fungi in any system. In agriculture we use to calculate energy inputs and carbon emission equivalent by taking reference for predicting best developed techniques for reducing the energy and carbon emission imprints. Here we are not considering thermodynamics. May thermodynamics used these. I just asked that, PSB and AMF having energy input and carbon emission equivalent. If you don't know the values don't respond. But don't question the same. May in your field you are master but not in all the fields seems. Thank you
@abhijeet, please find the standard refernces for computing energy and carbon emission equivalents for farm operations, which we generally follow. You may not be aware of these.
Lets roll into the discussion , Rajanna, please....
I just wanted to add that if we are comparing the energy equivelent in terms of urea versus PSBs ( For example) , the values of energy associated with latter source is an issue to deal with , since its direct ocnsequences are are unpredictable and uncomputable. It could have some possibility only through increase in say , carbon fooftrpint of soil or plant , or any other measurable parameter...This is just a case study...
@Anoop Sir, thank you for the response and its seems to be true. All the literatures reported variable energy and CEE for fixed inputs may be because of variability.Ex. for glyphosate, some are reporting 459.1MJ and some are 254.3MJ. But no articles are reporting PSB and AMF etc
G A Rajanna Are you sure you cite/send the right article?
If you think it is, now your question and argument appear to be wrong and to some extent non-sense in its current form.
Sure, I am not the master of this, but this question does not need mastery to see that it does not make sense.
Thank you very much for teaching that what I should not do, but that just pose more question on basic fact that in your question there is a lack of understanding somewhere.
