Abstract EN
This paper presents an annual multiobjective crop-mix planning as a problem of concurrent maximization of net profit and maximization of crop production to determine an optimal cropping pattern.
The optimal crop production in a particular planting season is a crucial decision making task from the perspectives of economic management and sustainable agriculture.
A multiobjective optimal crop-mix problem is formulated and solved using the generalized differential evolution 3 (GDE3) metaheuristic to generate a globally optimal solution.
The performance of the GDE3 metaheuristic is investigated by comparing its results with the results obtained using epsilon constrained and nondominated sorting genetic algorithms—being two representatives of state-of-the-art in evolutionary optimization.
The performance metrics of additive epsilon, generational distance, inverted generational distance, and spacing are considered to establish the comparability.
In addition, a graphical comparison with respect to the true Pareto front for the multiobjective optimal crop-mix planning problem is presented.
Empirical results generally show GDE3 to be a viable alternative tool for solving a multiobjective optimal crop-mix planning problem.
