The crops developed during the Green Revolution were high yield varieties - meaning they were domesticated plants bred specifically to respond to fertilizers and produce an increased amount of grain per acre planted.

Answer:

The term 'Green Revolution' is used neither for green fertilizers nor green pesticides.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The term Green Revolution is associated with the drastic increase in farm produce owing to the development and use of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides in accordance with better farming techniques.
  • The development of high yielding varieties (HYVs) of grain crops also contributed to the Green Revolution.
  • It first began in Mexico and gradually disseminated throughout the world.
