Optimization of Cropping Patterns Using Elitist-Jaya and Elitist-TLBO Algorithms

The Karjan irrigation project of Gujarat in Western India faces an acute shortage of irrigation water during the non-monsoon seasons. Improper water management in the area may result in reduced yields and hence low net incomes to the farmers. Optimal cropping pattern models were developed under different constrained environments using the improved versions of Jaya algorithm (JA) and teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm by...
