Abstract

The economic potential of innovative variable rate planting date for profitability and risk reduction is examined in a whole farm management setting. A mixed integer, quadratic programming model using a mean-variance (E-V) framework is used to represent the precision agriculture issues of varying planting date with novel polymer seed coatings.
