Question

A farmer has two varieties of wheat in his field−one gives good yield but is prone to diseases; the other is resistant to diseases but does not give good yield. How can you help him as an agriculture scientist?

Answer 1

In the given case, two varieties of wheat are available. One of the variety of wheat is prone to diseases but gives a good yield. Another variety of wheat is disease resistant but provides a good yield. As an agriculture scientist, one could recommend that the two varieties should be hybridised to obtain a hybrid. This hybrid would have disease resistance and will provide high yield.
