| Abstract | ||
| Wheat is considered an important food stuff in nowadays as well as in previous time. The need for more wheat increases every year due to the rise in population growth especially in developing countries. The yield in most developing countries is lagging behind the total consumption of the wheat. Iraq is one of the developing countries which has the problem of production shortage from this crop . The self sufficiency ratio of this crop in Iraq decreased from 48% in 1980 to about 14% in 1989. The amount of the gap was about (2355) thousand tons in the year 2000. In spite of the importance of wheat whether in total area cultivated or in the value of wheat production relative to gross agricultural product, but yield was not as high as international level. The aim of this research is to identify the role of effective resources on average yield of wheat. In order to get field results, data were collected through questionnaire for the region farmers, during the year 2008/2009 and for different areas. Quantitative analysis was used to analyses data. Linear function was the best estimated functions according to economic, statistical and econometrical criteria. The total function was significant in the significance level of 1% according to (F) test, the determination coefficient (R2) was 89%. The autocorrelation between residuals was absent according to (D.W) test. The results showed the positive effect of land , seeds and fertilizers on production quantity . According to research results it could be recommended to increase the cultivated area of the crop and this could be achieved through using effective resources with recommended quantities by specialists . Also suitable quantities of labour force could be employed to increase domestic production in order to be compatible with population growth to decrease import . | ||
