What was the effect of green revolution in the production of pulses
Answers
Answer:
The effect of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of wheat introduced in the mid-1960s in India on the production of pulses and major nutrients was evaluated. Linear trend lines were fitted to data from six major wheat-growing states of India, namely, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh for the ten-year period preceding 1964-65 and separately for the subsequent ten-year period. 22% of the expansion in wheat acreage during the latter period could be accounted for by the reduction in the area of pulses. 8% of the expansion in wheat was at the expense of winter rice and barley. The vast majority of the growth in the area sown to wheat in the six states was a result of increases in cropping intensities resulting from the HYVs, expansion in irrigation and an increase in net sown areas.
