      abstract = {The study dealt with the total wheat scenario in terms of  productivity growth in Bangladesh covering the period from  1980 to 2006. The 26 years of wheat production period was  divided iaio three consecutive sub periods: period I (1980  to 1990), period II (1991 to 2000) and period III (2001 to  2006). Technological breakthrough was started from the mid  of the 1" period and continued up to the end of the 2°d  period. The study revealed that the growth rate of inputs  used was higher in the 2nd period than in the 1S` period.  The growth rate of output price was always lower than that  of input prices. In spite of the lowest partial factor  productivity indices of all the input, the total factor  productivity indices were highest in the 2nd period. The 28  years' (1972-73 to 1999-00) mean rainfall and temperature  did not favour the farmers to produce more wheat. In  aggregate sense, the wheat production in the 2"d period was  the most cost effective. The growth rate of yield was found  to be 0.2 percent during the study period. Of the period,  only 2nd period was considered as the golden revolutionary  period in the history of wheat in Bangladesh since 1980.  Technological change in wheat production in the golden  revolutionary period has relatively benefited consumers  more than producers. Research, mechanization and market are  the most important sources of growth in total factor  productivity. The extent of annual fluctuation of wheat  productivity will have to be minimized by more efficient  use of inputs.},
