<P> The new agriculture strategy involving use of HYV seeds was initially limited to wheat , maize and bajra . The other major crop i.e. rice responded much later . The progress of developing and application of HYV seeds in other crops especially commercial crops like oilseeds , jute etc. has been very slow . In fact , in certain period a decline in the output of commercial crops is witnessed because of diversion of area under commercial crop to food crop production . The basic factor for non-spread of green revolution to many crops was that in the early 1960s the severe shortage in food grains existed and imports were resorted to overcame the shortage . Government initiated green revolution to increase food grain productivity and non-food grain crops were not covered . The substantial rise in one or two food grain crop can not make big difference in the total agricultural production . Thus new technology contributed insignificantly in raising the overall agricultural production due to limited crop coverage . So it is important that the revolutionary efforts should be made in all major crops . </P>
