SSC CGL - 25 July 2023 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q47

Which of the following is NOT one of the characteristics of the new agricultural strategy?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. the use of organic manures.

  • The use of organic manures is NOT one of the characteristics of the new agricultural strategy known as the Green Revolution.
  • This strategy focused on the use of chemical fertilizers to enhance soil fertility, hybrid seeds for high-yielding crops, and extensive irrigation to ensure a consistent water supply for crops. These methods significantly boosted agricultural productivity.
  • While organic manures are beneficial for sustainable farming, they were not central to the Green Revolution's approach, which prioritized modern, chemical-based inputs to increase food production.
