Abstract:

Agricultural Technology brings significant advancements in the field of wheat production and productivity but still considerable lapse is continuing between potential and actual wheat productivity, alongside fluctuating profitability for producers. This review article analyzes the influence of key agronomic and financial factors on the overall performance of wheat production methods. The article determines the extent to which agronomic practices such as the variety of choice, the rate of fertilizer application, timing and different stages of irrigation, and the most important aspect of sowing date schedule determine on-farm productivity. At the same time, the review will evaluate the effect of external and internal financial conditions including the input costs (fertilizer, fuel, seed), market output prices, availability of credit and consequent cost/return pattern to enable the actual profitability of the farmers. The main findings put emphasis on the fact that the profitability of farms is best maximized not by maximizing a single element, but by taking on an integrated approach that the marginal benefits of agronomically improved practices should always be greater than the rising marginal costs of money, in the form of financial inputs. This article offers important highlights to researchers, policymakers, and producers who are after sustainable practices that can increase the global supply of wheat as well as the economic sustainability of the agricultural communities.
