Akhtar, M.R. | Iqbal, M. | Azeem, M. (Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, Islamabad (Pakistan))

The major factors limiting wheat productivity in the cotton areas were the late planting of wheat after cotton, the use of rust-susceptible varieties, inefficient use of fertilizer and irrigation water, broadleaf weeds, the high harvesting costs, and the income from wheat which does not give reasonable returns on capital to the farmers
