Biofortification of iron-rich beans has achieved approximately how much more iron than conventional varieties?

Answer: 3 times more iron.

  • A 1.5 times more iron
  • B 2 times more iron
  • C 3 times more iron
  • D 5 times more iron

Correct answer: C. 3 times more iron

Explanation: Through plant breeding, iron-rich bean varieties have been developed containing approximately three times more iron than conventional bean varieties, helping address iron deficiency in populations that rely on beans as a staple.

Composite Fish Culture: Niches in One PondCatla (surface feeder)Rohu (middle feeder)Mrigal/Common carp (bottom feeder)

Different fish species occupy different feeding depths in the same pond without competing for food: Catla feeds near the surface, Rohu in the middle zone, and Mrigal or common carp at the bottom - letting a single pond support far more total fish than one species alone.
