Question

What is the advantage of using high yielding variety seeds in agriculture?

• A. Requires less water for irrigation
• B. Requires less chemical fertilisers and pesticides
• C. Helps in growing more crops on the same piece of land
• D. Reduces the cost of production as the price is very low

Answer 1

The correct option is C Helps in growing more crops on the same piece of land

High yielding variety (HYV) crops are shorter. So, they are able to withstand high winds and heavy rain. HYV crops also help in growing more foodgrains in a small piece of land, which increases farmers' profits.
