Answer 1

Punjab stands first in India in terms of per-acre production of wheat.

Explanation:

While Uttar Pradesh is the largest total producer of wheat in India, Punjab stands first in terms of per-acre yield (productivity). This exceptionally high yield is driven by the early and successful adoption of Green Revolution techniques, including 100% assured irrigation, high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, and extensive use of fertilizers.
