In this Research, our aim was to make an energy analysis of wheat production in MP. This study wear to determine the energy input-output of wheat production to investigate the efficiency of energy consumption of wheat production the surveys wear done in the 120 farmers field. In wheat production, energy input was calculated as 17212.33 MJ/ha and energy output was calculated as 97100.67 MJ/ha. Energy inputs consist of 23.6 % chemical fertilizers energy, 29.2 % diesel fuel energy, 19.9 % electric energy, 2.7 % machinery energy, 4.4 % FYM and 7.5 % human labour energy. Output– input energy ratio and specific energy of production were 5.64, 4.84 MJ/kg respectively.
