Abstract

Linear programming technique is relevant in optimization of resource allocation and achieving efficiency in production planning particularly in achieving increased agriculture production of crops. In this paper a Linear programming technique is applied to determine the optimum requirement of various resources to get desired profit, allocation of outputs by using various data, with respect to various determining factors viz. Daily wages of labour water requirement for the period of last four years. The proposed LPP model is solved by standard simplex algorithm. It is observed that the proposed LP model is appropriate for finding the optimal land allocation to earn maximum profit for the crops.
