What was the major disadvantage associated with HYV seeds? Explain.
1. Biggest disadvantage associated with HYV seeds is bigger requirement of water and also chemical fertilisers and pesticides to produce best results.
2. Higher yields are possible only from combination of HYV seeds, irrigation, chemical fertilisers, pesticides etc.
