Abstract: The 'Green Revolution' of the late sixties was caused by the development of high responsive seeds (HRS) and the increased availability of ~on water. New dwarf varieties of rice and wheat developed for tropical and subtropical regions have a higher grain·nutrient response than traditional varieties. Potential increase in yields per acre with the introduction of HRS are of the order of 50 to 200 per cent, given sufficient doses of chemical fertilizers and proper cultural practices [2, p. 58].
