Abstract
This study was designed to measure the impact of the technologies on agricultural growth. Agricultural
technologies and knowledge have been restructured and distributed by public institutions at large scale. But over
the past two decades, use of pesticides, fertilizers, tractors and tube wells for agricultural production has
increased rapidly, and the world economy has become more efficient and well-organized. These factors have
positive impact on investment in agricultural research, technology and have influenced the growth of economy of
Pakistan. This study shows empirical relationship between tube wells, pesticides, tractors, fertilizers and
agriculture growth over the period 1971-2007. For empirical analysis simple OLS, (Ordinary Least Square),
Johnson’s Co-integration and Error correction model techniques have been used to find relationship between
agriculture growth and explanatory variables. The public sector still has a role to play, particularly in managing the
new knowledge, supporting research to fill up the left over gaps, encouraging and regulating farmers associations,
and ensuring their effects on the agriculture growth are adequately reviewed.
