Answer : 4. "Punjab"
Explanation :
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann recently announced that the state will ban the cultivation of Pusa-44 paddy variety from next year due to high water consumption and stubble production. Earlier, 70 to 80 percent of the total area under paddy cultivation in the state was of this variety and farmers were quite satisfied with its impressive yield.
