Question

the so-called green revolution began with conventional breeding programs that created new varieties of wheat which were: select all that apply. group of answer choices resistant to a specific disease higher yield dwarfed to prevent falling over when fertilized higher in genetic diversity for natural disease resistance adapted to lower nutrient availability, removing the need to fertilize

Answer 1

In order to enhance food production and reduce hunger and poverty, high-yielding cultivars of rice and wheat were first introduced in India in the 1960s.

Before those gloomy predictions could come true, the green revolution revolutionised world agriculture, particularly that of rice and wheat. An American researcher named Norman Borlaug developed a dwarf form of wheat through selective breeding that focused its energy on short, palatable kernels rather than tall, inedible stalks. The introduction of "new" crop types into developing nations starting in 1964–1965 is referred to as the "green revolution." Different nations adopted the Green Revolution at varying rates. Agriculture output is linked to the Green Revolution. It is the time when modern agricultural practises, such as the use of high yielding seed varieties, tractors, irrigation systems, pesticides, and fertilisers, were adopted, transforming the nation's agriculture into an industrial system.
