Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Computer software based on different operations of production such as land preparation, tillage (PT/Tractor) operation sowing, transplanting, weeding, fertilizer application, threshing, cleaning etc, was developed for the selection of optimum cropping pattern for maximum return (SOCPMR). The program was designed in order to optimize the cropping pattern from different cropping patterns. A study had been wider tarn to address the issue of labour cost, material cast and cost of products and byproducts to individual cropping pattern. Optimum cropping pattern was considered with regard to cost of productions among the seven different patients. Maximum profit was achieved from pattern no. six and that pattern was T. arnan-Boro-BARIpea-2.

Objectives:

To develop a Computer Software to determine the optimum cropping pattern based on the production costs and returns from the crops and crop by-products.

Methodology:

The aim of this work was to develop suitable software selection of an optimum cupping pattern that gives maximum return for the farmer. The software was to process the input data and calculate the crop protection costs and the gloss and net returns. First of all the requirement of input data were identified and formulation of input and output data were made. Then a database of the input data was created for subsequent processing in the proposed software. The software was then designed and developed using Visual Basic

Achievement/Findings:

Software was developed to determine the optimum cropping pattern for maximum return for both field operations and farmstead operations and total production cost analysis for seven selected crop patterns of this study were determined by a computer program written in Visual Basic language. Optimum cropping pattern of the seven cropping patterns with regard to cost of production can be calculated by using this program. A precise production cost analysis showed that the total cost of production varied for the different cropping patterns and per hectare net return was also varied. Maximum profit was achieved from pattern no. six and that pattern was T. aman-Boro-BARIpea-2.
