Abstract
Applying skilled management to the whole business of farming
is of an extraordinary importance. The manager should be equipped with more
or less sophisticated software that would make his decision making process more
professional and adequate to (generally) production conditions. Such software
(program) will allow a quick design of a proper technology, the verification
of his technological concept through economic calculations and proper tests,
efficiency tests within the crop budget and comparison of different crops and
various technological levels applied. An Agricultural Technology Management
Program "AGRO-EXPERT" has been constructed in line with above principles
as a facilitator for extension workers and is presented in this paper. The authors
have also analysed the situation in such types of programs design and include
results of the analysis.
