Description Non-linear mechanistic growth models, viz monomolecular, logistic, Gompertz., mixed-influence and Richards,were used for describing'state-wise, production-data of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) during1966-67 to 1992-93. The parameters of these models were estimated using Levenberg-Marquardt procedure for nonlinearestimation. The 6 major wheat-growing states considered are Punjab, Haryana. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,Rajasthan and Bihar. For each of these' states, logistic model described quite well the wheat-production data in the postgreen-revolution cra. A comparative performance of various states for wheat production. showed that Haryana'sperfoemance is the best, as reflected by its high intrinsic growth rate and as it is still in the fast phase of growth, whichis likely to continue in near future also in view of the current trend.
