The ‘Pokkali’ rice cultivation system in Kerala is known for its:

Organic nature
Salt tolerance
High yield
Drought resistance Answer: b

The correct answer is b) Salt tolerance.

Pokkali is a traditional rice cultivation system in Kerala, India. It is a unique system that uses tidal water to irrigate the rice fields. The fields are located in low-lying areas near the sea, and they are flooded with tidal water during high tide. The water is then allowed to drain out during low tide. This system allows the rice to grow in saline conditions, which makes it tolerant to salt.

Pokkali rice is known for its high quality and its unique flavor. It is also a very nutritious rice, and it is a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.

The other options are incorrect.

a) Organic nature: Pokkali rice is not necessarily organic. It can be grown using organic methods, but it can also be grown using conventional methods.

c) High yield: Pokkali rice does not have a high yield. In fact, it has a lower yield than other types of rice. This is because the tidal water that is used to irrigate the fields contains less nutrients than other types of water.

d) Drought resistance: Pokkali rice is not drought resistant. It is a wetland rice, and it requires a lot of water to grow.
