ABSTRACT

The paper presents results of simulation studies on the choice of cereal seeders depending on the length of the agricultural period and the size of the cultivation. The studies also considered different outputs and the time of the yearly utilization of the aggregate. The selection of the best seeders was made according to the criterion of minimizing the unit costs of exploitation and minimizing energy inputs borne for seed sowing. The results can be used to determine the maximum number of ha that can be sown using a definite type of a seeder in the assigned time of sowing. They also make it possible to choose the cheapest seeder for the cultivation of a known area and an adopted agricultural period.

Key words: method, choice, seeders, exploitation costs, agricultural period.
