Which one of the following is incorrectly matched.

Options

A. Hissardale - hybrid of Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams
B. Saccharum barberi - grown in South India
C. Sonalika and Kalyan Sona - Semi dwarf wheat
D. Jaya and Ratna - Developed in India

Answer

To determine which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched, we will analyze each option provided:

1. **Hissard-Dale**: This is a hybrid of Bikaneri U and Merino Ram. This pairing is indeed correct as Hissard-Dale is known for its beneficial traits derived from both parent breeds.

2. **Saccharum barbari**: This is a variety of sugar cane. The claim is that it is found in South India, but it is actually more commonly associated with North India. Therefore, this pairing is incorrect.

3. **Sonalika and Kalyan Sona**: These are semi-dwarf wheat varieties developed to increase crop yield. This information is accurate, making this pairing correct.

4. **Jaya and Ratna**: These are high-yielding rice varieties developed in India, especially after the Green Revolution. This pairing is also correct.

After analyzing all the options, we can conclude that the second option, which states that Saccharum barbari is found in South India, is the incorrectly matched pair.

**Final Answer**: The incorrectly matched pair is Saccharum barbari (found in South India).
