Abstract: Reliable knowledge about the factors causing variability in agricultural production is indispensible in the process of planning for economic development in Pakistan. This holds particularly for the major foodgrains, wheat and rice. which account for at least 40 per cent of gross national product. If we can determine the extent to which factors beyond our control (e.g., weather) cause year-to-year fluctuations in output, we should be able to estimate more accurately the increases in output attributable to our own development efforts (e.g., increased use of fertilizers, pest-control measures, etc.).
