In the 1950s, agriculture was largely ignored because attention was being paid to the development of. 3. From 1960 onwards an important reason for the increase in crop yields and output was the. 4. This has been described as one of the most important events in the history of agriculture in. 5. In the 1960s high yield varieties of and were developed by research institutes. 6. Mexi-Pak wheat was produced at the International Wheat and Maize Institute in. 7. IRRI rice, called miracle rice, was produced at the International Rice research institute in the. 8. These HYV seeds required the accurate amount of the and to be applied at the right times for them to produce the high yields. Water was the most important. 9. The production of these seeds came at the time when Pakistan was increasing its irrigation facilities manly from and later from. 10. In 1991, IRRI announced the development of a new type of rice which has a larger yield than miracle rice called as. 11. This type of rice has been genetically modified to enrich it with because it is lacking in the diets of millions of people in. 12. This type of rice has, stalks on one plant and bigger clusters of than present varieties of rice. 13. This type of rice is also being bred to resist and e. 14. IRRI hoped to send seeds of this type of rice to major rice growing countries for testing in It was forecast that farmers in South and Asia would be able to grow it would be able to grow it after In the 1950s there were only a tube wells in Pakistan, but by the end of 1960s there were tube wells. 17. Most of these tube wells were installed in a few parts of the province of Pakistan. 18. The hard, stony mountainous land of Balochistan and KPK made the tubewells too to be installed over there. 19. Only a few tubewells were installed in Sindh because much of the ground water there is. 20. Rural also influenced the location of tube wells.
2 21. Research found that on a 50 acre farm in the Gujranwala district the increase in the crop yield paid off the cost of an electric water in year/s % of the tube wells were installed by farmers with acres or more. Only % were installed by farmers owning fewer than 13 acres. 23. The word tractor comes from a Latin verb meaning. 24. The hiring of tractors mean that 550,000 farms used tractors it is still a smaller number compared with which is the total No of farms % of privately owned tractors have been bought by the farmers who have tube wells. 26. In recent years some small and medium farmers have bought tractors with the from their family members working in the Middle East. 27. Irrigation has a long history in Pakistan. The first canals were built around BC during the Civilization. 28. The Indus River Irrigation System is one of the largest and systems in the world. 29. An insect called the stem-borer which lives in dead rice stubble may attack the next crop. 30. Karez were dug in Baluchistan, they were water channels for irrigation. 31. By 2000 the total irrigated area had increased to hectares. 32. The Bhakra- Nangal Dam was built on the river. 33. After 1960 there was also an increase in cropping. 34. The deposition of silt is a major problem in Dam. 35. Mangla Dam and Reservoir were completed in. Q.2(a) - Match the year with the event and write the correct year in column C.
