Abstract

The present research aimed to select the suitable integrated machines for wheat production depending on the field area and available time for each operation. A Visual Basic program “WAMTLISH" is used to calculate the information from the wheat operating systems. This program is divided into three main subroutines to be worked on the main wheat production processes including; manure spreaders, tillage, leveling, irrigation, seeding, and harvesting to select machine number and specifications that recognized to give obtain the minimum operating time and cost. The program has been tested in a case study where machines width, field area and field shapes. The research established that the increases in machine width by 60 % for square and rectangle field shape the operating time decreased by 65.60 and 59.92% and the operating cost decreased by 66.48 and 60.99% respectively. The program is easy to give quake and fit information about the numbers and operating width for all needed wheat production machines.  For example, the numbers of required machines to plant 25 feddan per two days (16 h) are three chisel plows for first and two for second tillage, two levelers, one seeder, two manure spreader and two combine harvester with operating width of 1.25m; 1.25m; 2.5m; 1.5m; 2.4 and 1.5 and with 3.6 km/h; 4.5 km/h 4.0km/h; 5.0km/h; 5.0km/h and 7.0km/h respectively. Furthermore, the total operating costs is 2881.1 L.E. The program can be applied at service stations to determine the best automation system at the lowest cost and in the available time for the farmer.
