Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The major advantage of using HYV seeds in agriculture is that you can grow more crops on the same piece of land.
Scientists created High Yield Variety (HYV) seeds to increase food production and reduce starvation in underdeveloped nations. On the same plot of land, these HYVs, or "miracle" seeds, can yield up to ten times as many harvests as conventional seeds. Farmers can grow considerably more grain on a single plant using HYV seeds. The exact plot of land currently produces significantly more food grains than in the past. The condition of farmers has improved dramatically because of the adoption of HYV seeds. HYV seeds needed a lot of water in addition to chemical fertilizers and pesticides to get the optimum results.
