Question

    What was the primary focus of the nitrogen use

    efficiency (NUE) study conducted by biotechnologists at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University?
    A To determine the best irrigation practices for rice. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B To improve pest resistance in rice crops. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C To develop new rice varieties with higher NUE, reducing fertilizer costs and environmental pollution. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D To evaluate the impact of climate change on rice yields. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E To increase the genetic diversity of rice varieties. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The study focused on enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice, which can lead to the development of rice varieties that require less nitrogen fertilizer. This not only reduces costs for farmers but also minimizes environmental pollution.
