Khan, M.A. (Gomal Univ., D.I. Khan (Pakistan))
The energetic of the wheat crop on rainfed farms have been worked out and compared with the farms having canal and tubewell irrigation. A survey was conducted to investigate the pattern of energy used in production of wheat. The information was recorded from selected farms through biweekly visits. Results indicated that the farmers on bullock operated farms used more family labour than tractor operated farms, whereas, farmers on tractor operated farms used more casual labour. Bullocks were main source of power for all farms operations on bullock operated farms, however, threshing was performed with tractor driven threshers on almost all farms. Farmers on tubewell irrigated farms used maximum energy to irrigate their crop.
