Solution(By Examveda Team)

Karnal bunt of wheat is discovered in Haryana.
Karnal bunt is a fungal disease of wheat, durum wheat, and triticale. It is named after Karnal, India, where the disease was first discovered on a wheat crop in 1931.
The smut fungus Tilletia indica, a basidiomycete, invades the kernels and obtains nutrients from the endosperm, leaving behind waste products with a disagreeable odour that makes bunted kernels too unpalatable for use in flour or pasta.
