Factors Affecting Wheat Production in Districts Loralai and Jaffarabad Baluchistan

Abstract

The present study aims to identify the main factors affecting wheat production in the upper zone of the Loralai District and the plain zone of the Jaffarabad District. Data was collected from the farmers by purposive sampling method. A structured questionnaire was developed for collecting data from the farmers. A total of 85 growers were identified for data collection from the study area. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess the significant factors affecting the production of wheat. The yield of wheat was considered a dependent variable. The multiple regression model indicates that the amount of DAP and Urea applied to wheat crops, number of canal irrigation accessible and tube well irrigation availability were significant factors associated with yield of wheat in the study area.
