Question:
The following hybridization crop variety is not an insect pest resistance variety
The following hybridization crop variety is not an insect pest resistance variety
Show Hint
Always distinguish between resistance to pests and resistance to diseases — crop breeding goals differ for each.
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- Pusa Sawani
- Pusa Gaurav
- Pusa Komal
- Pusa Sem 2
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Pusa Komal is a cowpea variety known for disease resistance (especially against bacterial blight), not insect pest resistance.
Other varieties like Pusa Gaurav, Sawani, and Sem 2 are bred for insect pest resistance.
Other varieties like Pusa Gaurav, Sawani, and Sem 2 are bred for insect pest resistance.
