Abstract:
The developed optimization model aimed to aid decision-maker and farm
manager in determining the number of tractors, scheduling agricultural
operations efficiently and minimizing machinery total costs.
Model verification was made by comparing the numbers of tractors of
Rahad irrigated scheme for season 2008/2009 with those estimated by the
model. The applied model in Binna agricultural scheme was succeeded in
reducing number of tractors and operations total costs by 29.4%.
