Application of Mathematical Modelling for Optimization of Land-Use Management

Abstract

The work has approved the methods of partial economic evaluation of lands by the indicators of yield capacity of agricultural crops, payback of expenditures and differential income for a typical agricultural enterprise, located on the territory of the natural-agricultural province of the Western Forest-steppe. The research supplies proposals concerning improvement of the methods of economic evaluation of lands in Ukraine on the example of the indicators of economic evaluation of the land use at the farming enterprise “GREEN GARDEN”. The indicators are used for the growing of agricultural crops, planning their yield capacity, comparison of the economic fertility of soils and determination of the economic results of growing agricultural crops under the current production conditions in a defined working area. The research proposes the optimization of land-use management, applying a metrical game on the basis of indicators of the economic evaluation of lands to define the optimal share of agricultural crops in crop rotation. This method can be used to optimize land use in any region. Application of mathematical modeling by indicators of differential income ensures that maximum gross income is obtained under the mixed strategy of the game on better and worse soils in the enterprise.
