Water resources sustainability is one of the major issues in the agricultural sustainability. In this study sustainability of water resources has been investigated by use of linear and non-linear models in six models based on optimal utilization of water resources in the north parts farms of Iran because of incorrect use of agricultural water resources, from 2011 to 2012. Also “gross margin per...

Bihar has a total geographical area of 93.60 lakh hectares on which it houses population 82.9 million, thereby generating density 880 persons per sq. km (Census 2001). Gross sown in the State is 79.46 hectares, while net 56.03 hectares. There are around 1.04 crore landholdings 83 percent marginal holdings size less than 1 hectare (Table 1). With 90 living rural areas, agriculture as primary fee...

due to limitation of available water and soil resources in iran, the challenge of optimizing the utilization of these resources has become more significant. one of the solutions to the economic, planning and optimization of water use and achieve the optimum level of water use is associated with improved farming activities and this is the most important agricultural research needs. the study of ...

abstract the present study was carried out for developing and evaluating of the optimization model of cropping pattern in irrigation networks using analytical hierarchy process (ahp). the model was programmed into two sub-models. the objective of the first sub-model was ranking of crop appropriately, and the objective of the second sub-model was ranking of cropping area of each crop. ten criter...

this study was conducted to determine timeliness costs in using machinery and their effects on farmers’ revenues. in addition, optimum cropping pattern was compared with the existing one assuming removal of timeliness cost. for the purpose of the study, mixed integer and linear programming methods were used. the study was conduced in marvdasht region in southern iran. the data were collected th...

With the availability of required inputs for intensive agriculture, the cropping system in Punjab state has undergone a paradigm shift, from a much diversified cropping pattern to a very specialized monocropped one. A study was undertaken in Bathinda district of Punjab State for mapping crop area, cropping pattern and finally long term changes in cropping pattern. Multi-year, multi-date, IRS LI...

Agriculture resources reflected to be one of the most imperative renewable and dynamic natural resources. Agricultural sustainability has the premier priority in all countries, whether developed or developing. Cropping system analysis is indispensable for grinding the sustainability of agricultural science. Crop alternation is stated as growing one crop after another on the same piece of la...
