The variety of Okra, Pusa Sawani is resistant to which of the following insects pests?
- Cereal leaf beetle
- Aphids
- Jassids
- Shoot & Fruit
The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
- The variety of Okra Pusa Sawani is resistant to the Shoot & Fruit borer, which is a common pest affecting okra crops.
- This resistance helps in reducing the damage caused by these pests, improving the overall yield and quality of the okra.
The correct answer is (D) : Shoot & Fruit.
Approach Solution -2
The correct answer is: (D) Shoot & Fruit.
Pusa Sawani is a variety of Okra (also known as Lady Finger) developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI). This variety is known for its resistance to several insect pests, specifically the Shoot and Fruit Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis), which is a major pest affecting Okra crops. The Shoot and Fruit Borer damages the plant by feeding on the shoots and fruits, which can significantly reduce yield.
Pusa Sawani's resistance to these pests makes it a preferred variety among farmers, as it reduces the need for chemical pesticides and helps in maintaining healthy crop production. This variety is also appreciated for its high yield potential and excellent quality of pods, making it an important crop in the agricultural sector.

Oilseeds scenario of India
India is next to the USA, China, and Brazil in vegetable oils production. Areas and production of oilseeds crops is next to food crops. India accounts for 14% of the world’s oilseeds area, 8% of the world’s oilseeds output, and 11% of the world’s edible oils consumption. India grows nine field oilseeds crops, of which linseed and castor are non-edible. In the edible oilseeds crops, soybean has the highest acreage followed by rapeseed-mustard, groundnut, sesame, safflower, sunflower, and niger. India is not self-sufficient in oilseeds production, and 50% of the requirement of vegetable oils is met through imports. Of the total import, about 60% is palm oil. Among the states, Madhya Pradesh ranks at the top in the area and production of vegetables oils, followed by Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. Oilseeds occupy about 13-14% of the gross cropped area and account for nearly 1.4% to gross national product and 7% of the value of all agricultural commodities.
