In India, wheat is grown in an area of about 29.06 million hectares with a production of 86.87 million ton (FAO, 2011). The yield of wheat increased after sixties and early seventies bringing the green revolution in India. In recent years, production of wheat crop in response to the increasing application rates of the input resources is experiencing a declining trend. India is second most populous country after China which houses 15% of global population (census 2011) within 2.42% of geographical land area of world. The ever growing population and improving economic condition pressurize to produce and supply higher quantity of food grains. However, the country’s agriculture production is not increasing but somewhere stagnated, this increasing demand for food grain production. Agriculture sector therefore needs much attention to decrease this gap between increasing demand and production. It concluded that the wheat sowing period around 30 November was simulated to be the best for increased production under the current and future climate scenario at Kharagpur, eastern India, A marginal increase in yield was simulated by shifting the sowing time from 30 Nov to 15 December under future climate scenarios. and The N fertilizer application rate in the range 120 to 180 kg/ha was recommended for the yield maximization.
