The introduction of hybrid seeds in India has doubled the yield of foodgrains. The High Yielding Variety Seed Program (H.V.P.) has contributed to serious interregional disparities in agriculture. Surplus production of foodgrains is not the true measure of success of the Green Revolution; many ...
With the introduction of the Green revolution, India reached its way to self-sufficiency and was less dependent on imports. The production in the country was sufficient to meet the demand of the rising population and to stock it for emergencies. Rather than depending on the import of food grai...
One major problem lies in the fact that the revolution did not spread evenly to all the parts of the country. With the introduction of Green Revolution in 1967-68, there was a phenomenal increase in the production of food grains, especially the wheat. Thus, Green Revolution in India can ...
To mitigate these problems, India adopted farming strategies under the "Green Revolution" in the mid 1960s. The application of modern farming technology, introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds, increased use of fertilizers, development and expansion of irrigation systems, extension of credit...
When the green revolution began in the 1960s, it was before the revolution in molecular genetics: IR8, the first miracle rice, was bred without knowledge of the genes that blessed it with high yields. Breeders today can zero in on genes, but they still use traditional techniques and ever ...
green revolution the introduction of new species of crops and new techniques leading to greater crop yields. This began in Mexico in the 1950s, and from the mid-1960s new high-yielding varieties of rice and wheat were introduced in manyTHIRD WORLDcountries. The most noticeable applications were...
Father of Green Revolution in India is: AM.S. Swaminathan BBirbal Sahani CJ.L. Nehru DIndira Gandhi. Submit Green revolution means :- AIncrease in production of food plants BIncrease in growth of green plants for maintaining ecosystem balance ...
The meaning of GREEN REVOLUTION is the great increase in production of food grains (such as rice and wheat) due to the introduction of high-yielding varieties, to the use of pesticides, and to better management techniques.
This paper examines village level experiences of 'Green Revolution' in four areas, two in India and two in Northern Nigeria. It argues that these have consisted not merely of the introduction of new high-yielding varieties but of a broad set of mutually reinforcing changes which have transformed...
Although studies indicated that it was mostly farmers with limited means or from regions without adequate facilities for irrigation who were averse to investing in the capital-intensive inputs, research conducted on manuring and new varieties after the introduction of Green Revolution technology ...
