Abstract

Through an examination of contemporary farming practices in the Mahendergarh district of Haryana, the impact that technical improvements have had on agricultural production. Especially during the Green Revolution in the 1960s, Haryana has seen a considerable increase in agricultural production as a result of the implementation of various technologies. These technologies include high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, motorized farm tools, irrigation infrastructure, herbicides, and fertilizers. As part of its efforts to reduce fuel use and boost revenue, the state government has also installed solar irrigation pumps in order to encourage the use of solar energy in agricultural production.In the Mahendergarh district, despite the use of modern procedures, suboptimal yields have been achieved as a result of issues such as delayed sowing, improper seed rates, imbalanced fertilizer delivery, unregulated weed development, and inadequate plant protection measures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect that these technological interventions have had on the crops that are produced in the region.
