The article addresses the problem of optimizing crop production using fertilizers in order to maximize total revenue under resource constraints. The author shows that this issue belongs to the field of operations research, specifically linear programming, applied to agricultural decision-making.

In the technical part, a mathematical model is constructed with decision variables representing quantities of different crops, a profit-maximizing objective function, and linear constraints related to the availability of fertilizers (N1 and N2). The model is formulated using systems of linear inequalities and equations and solved using optimization tools such as the simplex method, supported by tabular data .

As a result, the optimal production plan was determined (e.g. allocating production mainly to one crop), achieving the maximum possible revenue (9375 PLN) while respecting all constraints. The article demonstrates that linear programming as a method of operations research enables effective resource allocation and supports rational economic decision-making.
