Question

Name the wheat introduced during green revolution?

Answer 1

Wheat Breeding in the Green Revolution exemplifies the most well known success of the Green Revolution in increasing crop yields through plant breeding. Green Revolution wheat was resistant to rust, a fungal disease, but it required large amounts of fertilizer, pesticides, and often irrigation to achieve the high yields for which it is famous. Norman E. Borlaug also succeeded in breeding varieties that were able to grow in almost any part of the world, regardless of ecological conditions. Borlaug began his work on wheat breeding as part of the Rockefeller Foundation's Mexican Agricultural Program in Mexico in 1944.
