Q. No. 1 ) Read the following extract and complete the activities given below:
With the advent of irrigation farmers were tempted to grow a second crop and Kasbai, being
a long duration hybrids so that the harvest could be done earlier. This ensured that the farmers could
take up a second crop.)
I asked why he had shifted if he was so unhappy with the hybrids. No one forced him to, did
they? He smiled and replied that their fields did not have fences and once the harvest was over tht
cattle were released into the fields. 'If my field alone has Kasbai it will be a treat for the cattle', he
explained
'Sometimes we have to fall in line with the community', he lamented. Hybrids need more water,
fertilizers and pesticides. He said that yields were good initially but of late, had reduced a lot. Besides
he said that each year they had to increase the quantity of urea and pesticides they used. It was as if
the newer hybrids had an insatiable appetite for chemicals.) He told us that even when there were
flash floods in the sixties, Kasbai had stood its ground. He fondly remembered how the rice was still
standing when they all returned to the village after the floods had receded. 'Such was the strength of
the rice. But look what we have done', he rued.
