Coastal alluvial soils (deltaic regions) are ideal for rice cultivation due to high moisture and fertility, such as in the Godavari and Krishna deltas.
Explanation:
Wheat was the primary beneficiary due to semi-dwarf HYV varieties from Mexico. Production surged from ~12 million tonnes in the mid-1960s to over 20 million by 1970. Rice followed later with IR-8 varieties. This focused on irrigated areas in the north.
Explanation:
IPM is a holistic approach that uses a combination of biological (predators), cultural (crop rotation), mechanical, and chemical (pesticides) methods to manage pests sustainably.
