      abstract = {The present study was undertaken in the Northwest of  Bangladesh to measure the technical and allocative  efficiency of wheat production. Primary data from 200  farmers field were collected for this study. Frontier  production model was used to estimate the technical  efficiency and the marginal condition for profit  maximization was used to estimate the allocative efficiency  (AE). The mean farm specific technical efficiency of wheat  growers were 88 percent and 69 percent at Dinajpur and  Rangpur, respectively. The frontier farmers received higher  yield by following optimum seeding time, using more urea,  TSP, gypsum, manure and applying more frequently irrigation  water with modest use of seed rate, and human labour at  both the sites. So there is scope to increase the farmers'  income and wheat yield by adopting the technologies adopted  by the frontier farmers.},
