Abstract
The level of agricultural productivity or performance, as a concept, means the degree to which, the economic, cultural, technical and organizational variables (i.e. the man-made frame) are able to exploit the abiotic resources of the area for agricultural production. The intensity and quality of inputs in the field have a direct bearing on the output in the form of production and yield. Agricultural productivity is an important indicator of agricultural development having a reciprocal relationship with agricultural development. The increase in agricultural productivity is, both, the cause and effect of agricultural development. This paper analyzes the trends and spatial patterns of agricultural productivity in Punjab and Haryana region during 1971-2011 and makes a comparison between the two states to find out their level of development in terms of agricultural productivity in the study region. Among the various techniques available for measuring agricultural productivity, Mohd. Shafi’s technique (1972) has been selected in this study and three years average value (for all the mentioned years) of agricultural productivity has been calculated to determine its level in the region.
