HYV seed needed Less irrigation and natural ,manual and fertilizer
Answers
Answer:
In Mexico, Prof. Norman BorIaug and his associates developed new varieties of wheat which were early-maturing, highly productive and disease resistant during the mid-1960s and these varieties were imported and planted in selected regions of India having adequate irrigation facilities. Within a year of their introduction, it was conclusively demonstrated that the yields from the new varieties exceeded 25 to 100 per cent compared to the yields from traditional varieties. The Seventh Plan kept a target of 70 million hectares for coverage in area under HYV. As against this, the actual area under HYV by the end of Seventh Plan was only 63.1 million hectares. In 1998-99, the coverage rose to 78.4 million hectares.
Answer:
The Green Revolution started in 1965 with the first introduction of High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds in Indian agriculture. This was coupled with better and efficient irrigation and the correct use of fertilizers to boost the crop. The end result of the Green Revolution was to make India self-sufficient when it came to food grains.
