Programming effective working width of agricultural implements in visual basics

The methodology for analysis using computer software is necessary to facilitate accessible mechanisms of engineering calculations for decision making by agricultural technicians and farmers. This research aimed at creating and implementing an easy-to-use computer system for farmers to calculate the optimal working width of agricultural implements using extended and updated equations. In the methodology, we used the applied economic procedures, flow diagrams, Excel, and the algebraic relationships and programming procedures of Visual Basic 6. Our results present a program for calculating the effective working width of agricultural implements using equations that were inserted with a number of representative area parameters, which can be replaced o extended. We concluded that the model can be used as a guide for decision making, for example when predicting the number of tractors for a given area with time restrictions, or for developing a program, in the case of multiple units of agricultural machines. The program is easy to use and is available to the public upon request.
