Golden Rice is biofortified with which nutrient?

Answer: Beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor).

  • A Iron, to combat anemia in rice-dependent populations
  • B Vitamin C, to improve immune function and wound healing
  • C Zinc, to support enzymatic and immune system functions
  • D Beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor)

Correct answer: D. Beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor)

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.
