India's ______ revolution is an effective example of how greater input of knowledge in better production technologies can rapidly increase the productivity of scarce land resources.
Green
The Green Revolution (from the mid-1960s) raised India's food-grain output by using high-yielding variety seeds, chemical fertilisers, pesticides and assured irrigation.
Led by M. S. Swaminathan with Norman Borlaug's dwarf wheat, it increased output per hectare on limited land, especially of wheat and rice in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh.
The Blue Revolution relates to fisheries and the White Revolution to milk.
Hence, Green.
