In order to achieve the objectives of the research was used to estimate the production function forms and generalized quadratic function was chosen as the superior function. The results showed that cultivation inputs, water, seed and fertilizer in wheat production areas are effective and economically efficient use of these inputs is not enough. So of water and fertilizer inputs are used in non-economic area. Comparison of small and large farms also indicate that although both the logical and efficient producers of inputs are not used.
