Decision Support Systems and the Economics of Seeding Rate in Crop Yield

Mohamed, Issam A.W. (2011): Decision Support Systems and the Economics of Seeding Rate in Crop Yield.

Abstract

The present study constructs a decision support system to determine the best seeding rate out of a group of seeding rates applied in the field. The DSS has been built receives the field data as inputs, and then apply split plot algorithms of (Gomez & Gomez, 1984) to find the results. These results showed in stepwise manner and specifically similar to that of the manual processing, hence it is so easy to understand. The DSS specific is four folds seeding rates with two cultivars of the crop.
