Abstract :In this study, the effects of different tillage system (conventional tillage system G: mouldboard plough + cultivator + spike tooth harrow) and conservational tillage system K: chisel + spike tooth harrow); planting system (flat (D) and ridge (S) planting system) on energy use efficiency of second crop silage maize in Mid-Black Sea Transition Climate Belt were investigated. TTM-813 silage maize seed was used in the experiments. According to the results, the highest specific energy was found in conventional tillage +ridge planting system (GS, 0.382 MJ kg-1), whereas, the highest energy output/input ratio was found in conservational tillage + flat planting system (KD, 15.61). It was found that the highest usage ratio in total energy input belongs to fertilizer energy and fuel energy in silage maize production. In conclusion, conservational tillage + flat planting system (KD) was the appropriate system as alternative soil tillage system to conventional system was quite practicable for preservation of energy sources and environment for silage maize production in Mid-Black Sea Transition Climate Belt.Keywords : Korumalı toprak işleme, Sırta ekim, Enerji çıktı/girdi oranı, Özgül enerji
