this paper presents a model for constrained multiobjective optimization of mixed-cropping planning. the decision challenges that are normally faced by farmers include what to plant, when to plant, where to plant and how much to plant in order to yield maximum output. consequently, the central objective of this work is to concurrently maximize net profit, maximize crop production and minimize pl...

abstract to get ride of fragile and unsustainable single product export, a comprehensive knowledge of export potential and comparative advantage is required. agricultural products can be considered as a suitable target for this purpose. for more efficient planning for agricultural products export, proper forecasting is necessary. to achieve this goal, two methods were used and compared. first, ...

The main purpose of the present study was to assess the ecological capability of agricultural soils using geographic information system (GIS). This research was conducted during 2014 in Hamedan Province, Iran. A cross-sectional study was conducted mapping the 10 factors of soil characteristics (texture, depth, erosion, and aggregation, percentage of slope, direction of slope, height, soil salin...

necessity of consideration future and delineating the characteristics of future development, leads trends to the fields of planning, rational utilization of resources and potential of areas. assessment of ecological capability, as the core of environmental studies at the prevention of possible crisis, provides an appropriate context for environmental planning. the ability of gis in managing and...

Sistan region is one of the most important agricultural areas in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan. Therefore, given the heterogeneity in agriculture and recognizing these differences, the aim of this study was to obtain the level of development of agriculture in the Sistan region. To obtain this purpose two Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the numerical taxonomy was used in a...

According to the features of headland turning, new path planning and headland turning control algorithms for autonomous agricultural machine were presented in this paper. The turning path planning considered both the minimum turning radius and headland space was created by applying three straight lines. A path tracking algorithm based on the improved pure pursuit model was also proposed. This s...

Grassed waterways placed in high water flow zones substantially reduce erosion in agricultural fields. A recent study proposed a statistical model for waterway planning for a farm in the Outer Bluegrass physiographic region of Kentucky. The logistic regression model identified where channel erosion was likely to occur based on elevation-derived terrain attributes. The objective of this study wa...

Abstract/Résumé : The supply planning of agricultural products and in particular perishable products is a critical issue in the supply chain management field due to high safety and quality risks associated with the delays in the products delivery. This work is concerned with the planning of a real agri-food supply chain for poultry products. More precisely the problem is to redesign the existin...

The paper reviews agricultural development in Nigeria, in the context of the emerging technologies of Geoinformatics, specifically Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). It expounded on the principles of Geoinformatics and their relevance in agricultural development. A critical analysis of the prevailing situation in Nigeria reveals the shortcom...
