N2  - Rice is not only the staple food of many countries but it is also a source of earning of millions of  people.  In  Thailand,  rice  farming  is  the  majorsource  of  income  of  the  farmers  which  is highly  dependent  on  the  energy  inputs.  There  is  a  complex  relationship  between  energy  use pattern and rice yield. This  study  was performed to examine the energy use pattern  of the rice growers  depending  upon  the  size  of  the  farms  and  its  relationship  the  crop  production  in  the Ayutthaya   province   in   central   region   of   Thailand.   Its subjects   are   the   field   practices, technology  use  and  chemical  inputs.  Information  was  collected  through  the  field  survey. Results shows that mean energy output-input ratio of small farmers is higher with low specific energy  and  high  energy  productivity  than  the  large  farmers.  Energy  ratio  is  8.20  in  small farms, 7.00 in medium farms and 6.02 in large farms
