The analysis of secondary data of various districts of Haryana for the period 1996-97 to 2005-06 revealed that both bullock and camel population declined in the wake of farm mechanization across districts, regions and state, while he-buffaloes population increased due to the increased use of carts for transport. The number of both wooden and iron ploughs declined, while those of sugarcane crushers, combine harvesters and bullock carts increased both at intra and inter-regions including state. The use of NPK fertilizers, credit disbursed through primary agricultural cooperative credit societies as well as irrigation intensity though increased across districts, regions and state, yet pesticides consumption declined in eastern region including state. The area under cereals had positive growth rates across districts, regions and state even but at the cost of pulses and oilseeds. Likewise, the area under fruits and vegetables though marginally declined across regions and state yet both increasing and decreasing trends existed across districts and the compound growth rates both for production and productivity of cereals have increased across districts, regions and state. Furthermore, the oilseeds production has declined across districts, regions and state but except for eastern region, the oilseeds productivity increased both in western region and state.
