ملخص المقالة :
Wheat is a strategic crop; the prosperity of production improves any country's economy. In recent years, Iran has faced a significant decrease in wheat production, so it is important to conduct a study in this sector and provide a suitable solution to improve the concerns. A dynamic network model is presented to calculate efficiency for agricultural farmlands over 6 years. This model considers the every-other-year farming method, indirect input part of that is used in one year and the rest in the following years, and the complex relations of wheat production. Finally, to prove the applicability of the presented model, a case study of wheat fields in the northwest of Iran has been selected, and the desired model has been implemented. The results show Zanjanrod performs at the highest efficiency level, followed by Takestan.
