Planning for the optimal use of productive resources in agricultural systems leads to the conservation in addition to the promotion of farmers’ socio-economical conditions. Being certain or precise in any decision making in agricultural planning is impossible. Fuzzy mathematical programming techniques, developed in recent decades, are the most appropriate and applicable approaches to include th...

The adoption of cropping pattern in any region is an outcome of varied factors, which plays important role i.e. physical, social and economic factors. Some of these are changeable like prices, government policies, technology etc. and have operated very variously at different times. These factors have a combined impact on the decision making process of the farmer. Those which are not subject to ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate comparative advantages of corn in comparison with other competitor crops. To do so, Linear Programming, to 2004-2005 data related to classic index (DRC) in Kermanshah province was applied. Results showed that corn has comparative advantages in all regions of Kermanshah province while in optimal cultivation pattern of 37.5 percentages of regions in exi...

abstract with consideration to the resource limitation, it seems necessary to design cropping pattern scientifically in order to increase productivity of production factors and to decrease production average costs. this studyaimed at identifying the optimum cropping pattern based on comparative advantage in three counties of ilam province including darreh shahr, ivan, and shirvan chardaval. to ...

In this work we applied simple computer graphics techniques and artificial neural networks technology to identify the tomatoes that had foliage diseases. We propose the use of low cost computational apparatus to support early detection of diseases and pests in Brazilian tomato crops. A description of methods and results are presented in this work. Our proposal consorts field experiments with in...

the main objective of this study was to develop an optimal cropping pattern for sugar beet growers in fasa district (fars province) and to investigate sugar beet importance in cropping pattern. regarding the effect of risk on producer's decision, two risk sources including price and yield were considered. data was obtained from fasa district producers in 2008. in this study multi-objective...
