Abstract

ABSTRACT A computer simulation model of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) double cropping system was developed to analyze the effects on economic return of planting and harvesting rates, planting dates, and proportion of total farm area involved in double cropping. The model considers delays in planting and harvesting due to rainfall. The costs of the various operations are included along with the value of the crops produced. The results of the variation in percentage of area involved in double cropping and size and number of field equipment are shown using 15 years of historical weather data for the Southeast.
