Structures and perspectives of cereal seeds production and use, in Iraq.

In this paper regarding the situation of Iraq we are tackling the production issue and the use of seeds for the main cereal crops (wheat, barley, and maize). Based on a pertinent methodology, the paper starts from the stringent need to produce seed quantities, while the arguments are based on the processing results of the information in the annual dynamics. We are making knowledge references on the used quantities, but also on the seed provisioning. By means of presenting and extrapolating the production functions, we discover the limits and conditions for the production factors use extension on the production. It emerged that for the analyzed crops, the seed quantity factor is predominant in increasing the cereal production volume.

Comparisons between the production obtained and the seed necessary for the main grains in the worldwide geographic area.

In the current paper I present the tendency of the consumption of seeds and the connection between this and the agricultural production. In the seed industry there are on-going changes of the directionalities from quantity to quality, reason because of which an important issue is to find out how these two are inter-conditioned and how they are reflected in the agricultural production obtained. The exemplifications for the wheat, barley and corn cultivations during the period between 2000-2010 by highlighting at the level of the main world areas, reveal correlating aspects of the dependency of the total productions on the quantities of seeds utilized. The analysis was conducted through statistical indicators: the average, the standard deviation, the square average deviation, the variation coefficient and the limits of trust for a certain risk. In the dynamic of the years of the last decade there is observed a differentiation within the geographical areas, situations which are also dependent upon the quantities of seeds utilized.
