Simulation model on optimizing the sowing structure of precision plant production

Abstract

During the past decade, many people deal a lot with the Hungarian agriculture, its views and opportunities in the future. In order to the Hungarian agriculture be competitive on the European market it is needed to be able to follow the market motions and its changes. To do this, it needs making investments on certain areas which requires capital. The agricultural producing can only be competitive if the farmers keep the environmental viewpoints and the sustainable farming with an eye. The precision cultivation can be one of the implement of the so many voiced sustainable development at the field of agriculture. The precision cultivation requires surplus expenditures (purchase devices, operating the devices, etc.) but it has advantages too (yield increase, decreasing of material costs and yield insecurity, etc.). The comparison of the surplus expenditures and surplus yields serves as a basis of a complex economical analysis where not only the costs and revenues but the sowing structure changes are also appearing. The aim of this paper is to determine an optimal sowing structure for a 250 ha farm which provides the highest income with the technology of precision plant cultivation
