ABSTRACT

The present study is an attempt to examine resource use efficiency of wheat crop in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh and also identify of the constraints encountered in production of wheat by the farmers to achieve the potential yield of wheat. The study was conducted in 2013-14 and the results reveals that human labour was found significant for large (0.419) and overall (0.156) farm, while it non-signification for small and medium farms. Machine labour was found significant for all size of farms i.e. small (0.551) medium (0.526) large (0.370) and overall (0.687) farm size. Seed and fertilizer was found significant for small and overall farm. In case of marginal value productivity it was found that in small size farm the factors of production i.e. machine labour (X₂), seed (X₃), fertilizers (X₄) and irrigations (X₅) had been found underutilized, whereas human labour (X₁) implying over utilization under the study area. The constraints related to wheat production i.e. high price of quality seed was reported by 68% farmers followed by lack of knowledge about nutrient content 67%, high price of fertilizer 60%, lack of knowledge of seed treatment 55% etc. were found major constraints.
