Question

Q.90 Which crop was primarily targeted during the Green Revolution in India?

• A. Sugarcane
• B. Wheat
• C. Spices
• D. Cotton

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Wheat

Wheat was the primary crop targeted during the Green Revolution in India, leading to a significant increase in its production due to the introduction of high-yield varieties and modern farming techniques. In India, the Green Revolution was mainly led by M.S. Swaminathan. The Green Revolution resulted in a great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) due to the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding variety seeds, beginning in the mid-20th century.
