Solution Analysis: Assertion (A) and Reason (R)
This question requires evaluating two statements about cotton farming practices and their environmental impact.
Evaluating Assertion (A)
- Statement: Organic cotton is environment friendly as it is grown without the use of chemical fertilizer or pesticide application.
- Analysis: Organic cotton farming emphasizes sustainable practices. It avoids synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, promoting soil health and biodiversity. This approach generally leads to a reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional cotton farming.
- Conclusion: Assertion (A) is correct.
Evaluating Reason (R)
- Statement: Bt cotton is an example of organic cotton.
- Analysis: Bt cotton is a genetically modified (GM) crop. It has been engineered to produce its own insecticide, reducing the need for external pesticide application. However, organic farming standards explicitly prohibit the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
- Conclusion: Reason (R) is incorrect. Bt cotton is not organic cotton.
Final Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assertion (A) is correct.
- Reason (R) is incorrect.
Therefore, the most appropriate answer is that (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
