Explanation:
Inter cropping disparity because it was food grains which got impetus especially wheat andmany other crops were neglected eg: pulses.Largely green revolution favoured large farmers than small and marginal farmers becausegreen revolution needed some initial investments for mechanization, high yielding seeds etcwhile small and marginal farmers could hardly afford such expenditures.With unbalanced fertilizers usage it led to soil fertility decline and also crops were grown insuch areas where those were not supposed to be grown like rice crop which was started inHaryana and Punjab because of Green revolution.Green revolution mainly benefitted North West India and coastal areas in Eastern India.Thus agricultural income increased only in those regions where Green revolution wasbrought and thus increasing regional disparity in terms of economy.Mechanization was supported and encouraged to get the better benefits of Greenrevolution thus resulting into unemployment. Self sufficiency was brought only in foodgrains like rice wheat etc, and not in every crop.
