Maximización de la producción agrícola y del beneficio económico: Aplicación simplificada del modelo cuadrático

Abstract

Maximizing production and economic profit, as well as minimizing costs, aims to meet food demand, boost food security, and improve farmers' profitability. This study aims to validate the application of three simplified quadratic models for optimizing agricultural yields based on inputs. In quantitative research where the response variable is "higher is better," the law of diminishing returns is verified, and simplified quadratic models prove practical for calculating technical maximums and the economic optimum. For "lower is better" variables such as costs, the simplified quadratic model enables cost minimization with high reliability. Simplified models, applied to maximize production and economic profit, as well as to minimize costs, have proven valid and easily applicable in agricultural experimentation.
