Abstract

This research is done based on the major factors that affect the production of wheat crop in the case of Walmara woreda. The aim of this study is to identify the main factors that affect wheat production and to see the linear relationship between production of wheat which is dependent variable and land size, pesticide, fertilizer, temperature and rainfall which are independent variables. The data collection was done through secondary sources that obtained from Oromia special zone Surrounding Finfinne in Walmara woreda agriculture and rural development office, Walmara woreda agricultural research center and Walmara woreda cooperative association. In this research we analysis both descriptive and inferential statistics.

From multiple linear regression model analysis result finding indicate that some variables like land size and rainfall has negative effect on production. But other variables like pesticide, fertilizer and temperature has positive relationship with production. And some independent variables like land size, fertilizer, temperature and rainfall in the multiple linear regression analysis in the model is significant. That means at least one of the parameters or coefficients of explanatory variables are different from zero.
