Abstract
This study aimed to develop an optimum crop planning for maximization of farm net income in central dry zone of Karnataka by assessing scarce resources like land, labour, groundwater and capital availability. It evaluates the potential of the land resources for recommending optimum, sustainable and appropriate land utilisation in agriculture development. The study used quantitative analytical approach using microsoft excel premium solver in optimal crop plan allocation analysis. A total of 90 structured questionnaires were used to gather data necessary for analysis. The Linear programming model with an objective function that seeks to maximise net farm income subject to land, labour, capital, groundwater and minimum area for production constraints was run. Linear programming technique indicated that, at market prices, as per the optimum crop plan the area allocated for rainfed crops was about 103100 ha and for borewell irrigated area ...
