​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first year, the writer grew the GR4 variety as he was late for the rice-sowing season.

Explanation:

• The above-mentioned question belongs to the story "The Call of the Soil", well narrated by Venkateshwaran (Venkat) Iyer who believes in organic farming.

• The story "The Call of the Soil" which was written about the lifestyle change of engineer Venkatesh Iyer, is the subject of the recital.

• Through organic farming, he wished to grow organic food.

• A farmer he met by the name of Mugra advised him to purchase land in Surat. He manually planted the crops there. The farmer then suggested the author for a pesticide application.

• But the scientist who was against the use of pesticides disputed that he had stated a desire to raise organic food.
• So he started growing the less pesticide-intensive 'Kasbi rice' after learning about it.

Since he was late for the rice-sowing season, he went for growing the short-term GR4 variety, recommended by the agricultural officers at Kosbad.
