Which of the following is NOT true about the Green Revolution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Cultivation became more extensive in nature.
The Green Revolution primarily focused on intensive cultivation, which involved increasing productivity per unit of land using high-yielding varieties, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation. In its second phase, there was a shift towards irrigated cultivation in dry regions and a change in cropping patterns, but it was not aimed at extensive cultivation. The focus was on intensifying production rather than expanding the area under cultivation.
