Abstract
Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) is a systems analysis technique for project management. GERT provides a visual picture of the system and helps to analyse the system in a less inductive manner. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is studying the application of project scheduling in agriculture, for operations scheduling of sugarcane production (preserve operations, harvesting and rationing) using classical GERT method in Khuzestan province of Iran. Results showed that the network model was able to answer any statistic all the questions concerning the project. GERT networks are increasingly becoming a powerful tool for modelling, scheduling, planning, controlling and analysing of agricultural mechanization projects.
Highlights
Many different techniques and tools have been developed to support better project planning and these tools are used seriously by a large majority of project managers (Fahimifard & Kehkha, 2009; Fox & Spence, 1998; Pollack, 1998)

Summary
Many different techniques and tools have been developed to support better project planning and these tools are used seriously by a large majority of project managers (Fahimifard & Kehkha, 2009; Fox & Spence, 1998; Pollack, 1998). Pij > 0 is the conditional execution probability of the corresponding activity (ij) given that project event i has occurred. Pij and Fij are assumed to be independent of the number of times that project event i have occurred or activity (ij) has been executed before, respectively (Neumann, 1999; Neumann, 1990; Neumann, 1984; Neumann & Steinhardt, 1979). Since the efficiency and capabilities of GERT networks for modelling, simulation, planning, scheduling and analysis of the projects in complicated systems had been proved and confirmed in different fields of industry (Matsumoto et al, 2007; Ahcom 2004; Takanobu et al, 2004; Gauri, 2003; Kenzo & Nobuyuki, 2002). The purpose of this paper is studying the application of project scheduling in agriculture, for operations scheduling of sugarcane production (preserve operations, harvesting and rationing) using classical GERT method
