The green revolution refers to increased food production as a result of increased use of fertilisers, pesticides, weedicides, and high-yielding crop varieties.
Fertilisers area natural or synthetic substance applied to land or soil to improve plant growth.
Pesticides area chemical substance used to kill animals, particularly insects that eat food crops.
Weedicides are chemicals used to destroy weeds and are sprayed on fields.
Norman Borlaug, an American scientist, was in charge of green revolution.
India faced famine in the middle of the twentieth century due to the low productivity of the crops grown at the time.
Food production increased dramatically in the 1960s, due to green revolution.
The use of fertilisers, herbicides, and weedicides in agriculture was one of the reasons for the growth in agricultural output.
During this time, many novel fertilisers were developed and used.
This aided in increasing crop yields.
The new kinds were likewise resistant to the disease.
In India, the green revolution aided in feeding the country's expanding population.
Thus, owing to above reasons, green revolution succeeded in India.
