To examine the impact of modern inputs on agricultural production and productivity in Haryana

Agriculture development is a necessary condition for the over-all development of the economy. A progressive agriculture serves as a powerful engine of economic growth. Agriculture derives its importance from fact that it has vital supply and demand links with the manufacturing sector. In India, production and productivity has been increasing since green revolution with increasing use of high yielding seeds, synthetic fertilizers, and extent of irrigation, mechanical power and electricity in farm operations. Thus, the present study tries to examine the impact of modern inputs on Agricultural production and productivity in Haryana and the study is based on secondary data collected from different published issues of ‘Statistical Abstracts of Haryana’ for the selected period. The results of the study have been complied by compound growth rates. During the study period it was found that the use of different modern farm inputs have made a different positive and negative impact on production and productivity of studied crops. Common reason was behind that farmers were not aware regarding the use these modern inputs, improper irrigation facilities, lack of public awareness etc. However, finding of overall study revealed that use of these modern inputs have shown more positive impact on growth of production and productivity of studied crops rather than its negative impact.
