Abstract

The Linear Programming (L.P) model is one of the most important mathematical models, which helps system analyst to get an optimum solution from different combinations of input variables. A mathematical model of L.P. was constructed to obtain the optimum solution out of various combinations of tractor sizes and farm equipments for wheat crop grown on a Co-operative Farm in Romania. The algorithm for deriving mathematical solution for this model was translated into a computer programme. Data regarding the input variables and their cost coefficients were fed to computer. Numerical experiments were carried out for combination of various sizes of tractor drawn and/or self propelled farm implements with 45, 65 and 180 horse power tractors. No unique solution was obtained but a set of optimum solutions was achieved for different working at seasons and conditions.
