An Economic Analysis of Wheat Response to Nitrogen and Seeds

Abstract

The aim of this work is to estimate the optimum level of nitrogen and seeds which achieve economic efficiency .Different forms of production functions were estimated . The quadratic form was the one which fulfils the statistical and econometrical criteria and was consistent with economic and biological logic. The results had shown that the optimum level of nitrogen was 299 kgs./ha while it was 139 kgs./ha for seeds . Some derivatives were derived such as isoquants , expansion path , derived demand on inputs and marginal rate of substitution . Some recommendations were forwarded .
