Abstract: Based on the data from a semi-structured large sample formal survey and a field investigation in typical farmers’ fields conducted in Qvzhou county of Hebei province, limiting factors in wheat-maize production in southern Hebei plain are systematically studied in technical, social and economical dimensions. Major identified limiting factors to the wheat-maize system include untimely sowing and improper sowing density, confusion in variety use, unbalanced fertilization, insufficiency of irrigation facility, unsatisfactory profitability, lack of technical support, etc. Coping strategies as guaranteeing economical security of the farmer households, improving technical support system and extension approaches, upgrading infrastructure for farm production, providing favorable policy system and encouraging the increase of farm size are proposed.
