Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Five new varieties of seeds of Basmati rice, developed by a group of scientists led by the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) Director Dr. Ashok Kumar Singh in 2020 and 2021, are all set to bring revolutionary changes in the way Basmati rice is cultivated in the country.
Three of the five varieties can resist two common diseases of paddy (one bacterial and one fungal). The other two varieties can save 35% of water as the seeds can be directly sown, obviating the need for transplanting seedlings. These two seeds are resistant to herbicides too, helping the farmers to control weeds more efficiently. In the next three years, all of the five seeds will have the combined qualities of disease and herbicide resistance, Dr. Singh says.
IARI had provided seeds of new improved Basmati varieties PB1847, PB1885 and PB1886 this kharif season, to around 10,000 farmers in key growing regions in three northern states for helping in seed multiplication from the next season onwards. The varieties have been sown in around 5,000 acres in the current kharif season. There has not been any reports of diseases and pests so far in the standing crops.
“Increase in adoptability of new Basmati rice varieties amongst farmers in the next couple of seasons, would help recapitulate the country’s Basmati rice exports to European Union (EU) which had been hit by several rejection of export consignments due to presence of pesticide residue,” Dr. Singh said.
Exports of aromatic and long grain rice to the EU have declined to 0.2 million tonne (mt) annually from 0.5 mt a few years back.
According to IARI scientists, new varieties would gradually replace the existing Basmati rice varieties PB1121, PB1509 and PB6, which are cultivated in more than 90% of the about two million hectares of aromatic and long-grain rice-grown area.
