CALCULATION OF LABOUR TIME REQUIREMENT FOR PRODUCTION METHODS WITH REGARD TO GIVEN CONDITIONS IN DIFFERENT HORTICULTURAL ENTERPRISES WITH HELP OF THE TIME FORMULAE METHOD

Labour time requirements for the production of plants in horticulture defied untill to-day all exact calculation.
Labour records are to global and inaccurate.
Therefore time studies were made and time-bricks in different sizes now are disposable for horticultural works

As working-conditions and all other influences for each time-brick is known, each one is reproducible for all purposes.
To calculate the labour time requirement for a special production method under real conditions in a given enterprise, the time formulae method is developed.
Every specific condition in a horticultural enterprise by this method is taken into account.
Each modification in the production methods now can be calculated exactly

A demonstration of the time formulae method is given by calculation of some production methods for Petunia in several horticultural enterprises
