Optimization techniques in agriculture sector

Abstract

In this Paper a farm model is developed by using linear programming in order to determine the feasible optimal crop combination and how these crops will be allocated to increase the production. Appropriate utilization of land resources plays very important role in optimum agriculture Production. The Farmer has to take a decision what to grow, what crop combination should be used in different season. So to deal with these problem LPP model is used for the optimum allocation of limited resources. The objective of the study is to maximize farm returns by allocating the resources optimally. Only the crops grown in Rabi season are taken.
