In the present paper an attempt has been made to find out the spatial and temporal changes of agricultural productivity. Land and Labour, the two major inputs in traditional agriculture are calculated to identify the major agricultural productivity(in rupees per hectares) in the four agro climatic region of Haryana. To explain the variability of agricultural productivity, nine variables viz. rainfall, irrigation, fertilizer use, literacy, number of agricultural worker, population density, land holding size, number of tube-well and pump-sets/hectares been selected. On the basis of calculated productivity district has been categorized in to four categories i.e. very high, high, medium and low. Result of the foresaid analysis shows that the modern technological inputs have significant positive association with agricultural productivity in the study area.
