The rural women participate in a broad range of agricultural activities such as production, processing preservation and utilization of food. They play a key role in the entire food system starting from the selection of seeds, sowing, manuring, drying, storing and feeding the family from the harvested product. Even though ...

This paper describes the efficient use of a Bio-inspired computation technique to fuzzy goal programming (FGP) formulation of land allocation problems having chance constraints for optimal production of different seasonal crops in agricultural system. In the proposed approach, utilization of total cultivable land, different productive resources, achievement of target levels of the production of...

Development of agriculture depends on optimal land allocation. The development towards optimal utilization of land under cultivation and thereby increasing the production of crops and profit with less fertilizer consumption have to be taken into consideration in agriculture planning. In this paper different agriculture strategies are developed and accordingly, single objective optimization mode...

excessive cutting depth during leveling of agricultural land increases power needed by the tractor drawbar and will result in undesirable slippage and excessive strain on the tractor engine.  the result of sustained excess will be the break-down of the tractor. an auxiliary blade depth controller to prevent overloading during leveling was designed, fabricated and evaluated in this study. the sy...
