List the hybrid varieties of wheat and rice? developed in India which are high yielding and disease resistant?
Dear Student,
Due to the development of semi-dwarf varieties of wheat and rice, rice production went up to from 35 million to 89.5 million tones.
Sonalika and Kalyansona are the varieties of wheat which were introduced all over the wheat growing belt of India.
Semi- dwarf rice varieties were derived from IR-8 from Philippines and Taichung Native-1 from Taiwan.
Better yielding semi dwarf varieties Jaya and Ratna were developed later in India.
Disease Resistant:-
Crop Variety Resistant disease
Wheat Himgiri Leaf & stipe rust
Hope it helps
Regards
