Question

write 5 noun clause from swaminathan lesson​

Answer 1

Answer:

I started my postgraduate work on potato in 1947 at the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi. Growing up in Tamil Nadu, I had witnessed the damage to the potato crop by a disease called late blight (caused by Phytophthora infestans) in the Nilgiri Hills. Potato was a very important crop here, and its destruction led to considerable distress for the local people, as this coincided with World War II, when rice too was in short supply, due to the lack of imports from Burma (Myanmar).

While many scientists were already working on wheat and rice, potato was at that time under-researched in India, perhaps because of its geographical concentration in the hills of southern India and the eastern Himalayas.
