Abstract: In today's world conservation, management of water resources and land are major concerns. The paper presents an application of LINGO software and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm to determine optimal cropping pattern for Sinnar, MS, India. The optimisation model is developed and solved using LINGO and PSO for maximisation of net benefits. In existing cropping pattern net benefit are 1,101.15 million Rs. whereas obtained by LINGO and PSO are 1,461.2 million Rs. and 1,466.3 million Rs. respectively. Net benefits obtained using PSO are better than LINGO. Hence, cropping pattern obtained from PSO is suggested as proposed cropping pattern for study area.
