Detailed Solution

Wheat crops had the largest increase in production as a result of the Green Revolution.
The Green Revolution planned to make India independent from the grain dependency on other countries. It is launched to make India self-sufficient in grain production. The primary aim is to use a high-yielding variety of inputs and modern farming methods to increase the production of grains. In this, HYV seeds are introduced along with chemical fertilisers, pesticides, etc. these are high-yielding seeds that produce a large number of grains in a single piece of land in a year. Modern input farming methods include tractors, threshers, etc., which help enhance production quality. Wheat is the crop that registered the most significant increase in production due to the Green Revolution.
