Abstract
Formulation of fertilization plan is important task in agricultural production, but
frequently performed by advisors without necessary information about individual
plots and fertilisation practices applied by individual farmers. With increasing
concerns for environment and sustainable production it is therefore important that
fertilization planning is done by farmers. High fertilizers' prices also urge to their
rational application, achievable only on the basis of plans for several years. In the
article an electronic tool for fertilization plan formulation is presented. It is developed
as a multi-criteria decision making model based on mathematical programming
techniques. Hypothetical case illustrates its application as well as strengths and
weaknesses of methodology applied.
