Abstract: Carbon emission from crop production is one of the important sources of greenhouse gas emission in China, and it is a hot issue on agricultural ecological environment in recent years. Based on the statistical data of agricultural production input, crop yield, cultivated land area and crop sowing area in Hebei province from 2010 to 2018, this paper studied the dynamic changes of carbon emission of crop production inputs, and analyzed the proportion of carbon emission for each different crop production inputs, so as to provide a theoretical basis for energy conservation and emission reduction in agricultural production, and in the end to realize the low-carbon agriculture. The results showed that from 2010 to 2018, the carbon emission from crop production in Hebei province took 2015 as the turning point, showing a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. From 2010 to 2018, the total carbon emissions from crop production, carbon emissions per unit yield and carbon emissions per unit cultivated land area in Hebei province were 22.19×10⁴−26.74×10⁴tCO_{2 eq}, 0.21−0.30tCO_2eq·t⁻¹ and 3.40−4.10tCO_2eq·ha⁻¹, respectively. The total carbon emission of crop production, carbon emission per unit yield and carbon emission per unit cultivated land area in 2018 were the lowest, decreasing by 17.0%, 30.0% and 17.0% respectively compared with the highest value. The 9-year average carbon emission of chemical fertilizer, pesticide, agricultural film, diesel fuel and irrigation electricity accounted for 38.6%, 2.1%, 11.5%, 34.7% and 13.1%, respectively. Chemical fertilizer and diesel fuel were the main sources of agricultural carbon emission, accounting for more than 30%. The dynamic change of carbon emission of crop production inputs was obviously affected by the national policies. It is suggested that the carbon emissions from agricultural production should be guided by national policies, and measures such as formulating mature agricultural management system, strengthening agricultural technology training and promoting the application of advanced cultivation techniques should be taken to reduce the carbon emissions from agricultural sources, so as to promote the green development of agriculture.
