Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Scientists created High Yield Variety (HYV) seeds to increase food production and lessen starvation in underdeveloped nations. High Yielding Variety is referred to as HYV. HYV crops produce high-quality seeds. Examples include using HYV seeds in paddy, wheat, maize, jowar, bajra, and other crops over a vast area quickly. The parent plant types with traits like high seed production capacity, disease resistance, drought resistance, salt tolerance, and water stress resistance are crossed to create HYV plants. On the same plot of land, these HYV or "miracle" seeds can yield up to ten times more crops than conventional seeds.
