This research aimed to illustrate the significant role of modern technology packages in agriculture, in particular in the growth of wheat cultivation. In this research will attempt to use O-Ring method. The purpose our using of this method is to prove that the modern technological packages used in agriculture, wheat cropping combined have a significant impact on increasing the productivity of the wheat crop in Iraq. A sample is taking from 290 farms, by divided into three governorates Namely Wasit, Babil and Diwaniyah. The packaging used to grow wheat was micronutrients, seeds, fertilizers, laser-level potassium sulphate, seeds, potassium sulphate fertilizers, Pallas herbicide, Atlantis herbicide and the farming cycle. All these elements were expressed; as A3i. This is an indicator of the intensification of agricultural inputs for developing wheat cultivation in Iraq. The results of the analysis showed that there is a high degree of correlation between each of the modern technological inputs and the rest of the modern inputs. The results also indicated that there is a growth and development in the productivity of the wheat crop because of the use of modern technologies, as there is a correlation between the use of the modern technology package and the development of the productivity of the wheat crop in Iraq.
