Haryana is well known for its development in the field of agriculture among state and union territories of India. Infusion of green revolution played an important role in such an agricultural development. Agricultural productivity is one of the most efficient and important indicators of agricultural development. It is the ratio of output to input in relation to land, labour, capital, and overall resources employed in agricultural. However, due to difference in physiography and other factors, South-western Haryana is far behind the rest of Haryana in terms of such a development. The present study tries to analyze the levels of agricultural productivity in this region. To fulfill the need of study secondary data of post economic reform period has been analyzed with the help of Bhalla and Tyagi method, linear regression equations, trend lines, and index value. Annual compound growth rate has been used to monitor the difference in the level of agricultural productivity in South-western Haryana as well as rest of Haryana during the two phases of study i.e. 1990-93 and 2013-16. Correlation and step-wise regression analysis has been used to depicts the effect of independents variables on agricultural productivity. The findings of the study revealed that the study region lacks behind the rest of Haryana in terms of agricultural productivity. It is interested to note that index value and compound growth rate of South-western Haryana shows faster growth in agricultural productivity than rest of Haryana. It indicates that annual compound growth rate of study region was one percent more than rest of Haryana. Except consumption of pesticides all independent variables are positively correlated with agricultural productivity in both regions of Haryana. Step-wise regression model suggest that consumption of chemical fertilizer is the major determinants of agricultural productivity in South-western Haryana as well as rest of Haryana.
