This is the correct option. Crop protection management, crop variety management and crop production management are the factors that can increase yield.

This is the correct option. A number of elements are known to be needed in small amounts for proper plant growth and development. Nutrient deficiencies in these areas can adversely affect plant growth and development. All these are adversely affected by deficiency in nutrients.

This is correct. White revolution contributed to increased availability of milk. Blue revolution led to increased fish production and yellow revolution contributed to increased oil production.

Draught breeds are bullock breeds that are strong and sturdy. Dairy breed cows are high milk yielders but the bullocks are poor for draught purposes. Dual purpose breed cows are high milk yielders and bullocks are strong and sturdy. Thus, this is the correct option.
