''Green Revolution in India'' was a period during which agriculture in India increased its yields due to improved agronomic technology. It allows less developed countries like India, to overcome chronic food defects. The "revolution" began in the 1960s, but it's confirmed that it began in 1953 through the introduction of high-yield crop varieties and application of modern agricultural techniques, and led to an increase in food production in India. The main development was higher-yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists, including American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug, Indian geneticist M. S. Swaminathan, and others. The Indian Agricultural Research Institute also claims credit for enabling the Green Revolution,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iari.res.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=161&Itemid=1730 )〕 in part by developing rust resistant strains of wheat. The introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation led to the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. The methods adopted included the use of high yielding varieties (HYV)of seeds along with the use of modern farming methods. The production of wheat has produced the best results in fueling self-sufficiency of India. Along with high yielding seeds and irrigation facilities, the enthusiasm of farmers mobilised the idea of agricultural revolution. Due to the rise in use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers there were negative effects on the soil and the land such as land degradation. == Measures adopted == * Use of High Yielding varieties (HYV) seeds * Irrigation * Use of insecticides * Use of pesticides * consolidation of holdings * Land reforms * Improved rural infrastructure * Supply of agricultural credit * Use of chemical fertilizers * Use of sprinklers or drip irrigation * Use of advanced machinery * use of vector quantity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Revolution in India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
