      abstract = {The study was conducted in two major wheat growing areas  of Bangladesh to determine the adoption level and factors  affecting the adoption of wheat production practices in the  study areas during 2011. Descriptive statistics along with  multiple regression technique was used to achieve the  objectives. The results revealed that most of the farmers  (60.91%) in the study areas were cultivating Shatabdi  variety of wheat. Adoption level of seed rate, TSP and MoP  application were found to be very low. On the other hand,  production practices like time of wheat sowing and number  of irrigation were highly adopted by the farmers. Most of  the farmers (69.09%) applied TSP below the recommended dose  while 81.82% of the farmers applied MoP over the  recommended dose. The study also revealed a positive and  significant relationship between adoption and the variables  like education, experience and extension contact. Lack of  proper information and technical knowledge were the major  problems that hinder the adoption of wheat production  technologies in the study areas. Adoption gaps are needed  to be eliminated to enhance the productivity as well as net  return of wheat cultivation.},
