Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Conservation Agriculture (CA).
- Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a farming system that can prevent losses of arable land while regenerating degraded lands.
- External inputs such as agrochemicals are not applied so that it does not disrupt the biological processes.
- It includes crop-livestock integration and the integration of trees and pastures into agricultural landscapes.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a farming system that can prevent losses of arable land while regenerating degraded lands. It promotes maintenance of a permanent soil cover, minimum soil disturbance, and diversification of plant species. It enhances biodiversity and natural biological processes above and below the ground surface, which contribute to increased water and nutrient use efficiency and to improved and sustained crop production.
CA principles are universally applicable to all agricultural landscapes and land uses with locally adapted practices. Soil interventions such as mechanical soil disturbance are reduced to an absolute minimum or avoided, and external inputs such as agrochemicals and plant nutrients of mineral or organic origin are applied optimally and in ways and quantities that do not interfere with, or disrupt, the biological processes.
Complemented by other known good practices, including the use of quality seeds, and integrated pest, nutrient, weed and water management, etc., CA is a base for sustainable agricultural production intensification. It opens increased options for integration of production sectors, such as crop-livestock integration and the integration of trees and pastures into agricultural landscapes.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Wheat Cultivation in India.
- Wheat can be grown in the tropical and sub-tropical zones and it cannot tolerate severe cold and snow.
- Soils with a clay loam or loam texture and moderate water holding capacity are ideal for wheat cultivation.
- Punjab is the largest Wheat producing state of India.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Wheat is the main cereal crop in India.
Wheat crop has wide adaptability. It can be grown not only in the tropical and sub-tropical zones, but also in the temperate zone and the cold tracts of the far north, beyond even the 60-degree north altitude. Wheat can tolerate severe cold and snow and resume growth with the setting in of warm weather in spring. It can be cultivated from sea level to as high as 3300 meters.
The best wheat are produced in areas favoured with cool, moist weather during the major portion of the growing period followed by dry, warm weather to enable the grain to ripen properly.
Wheat is grown in a variety of soils of India. Soils with a clay loam or loam texture, good structure and moderate water holding capacity are ideal for wheat cultivation.
Uttar Pradesh is the largest Wheat producing state of India, followed by Punjab, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements:
- Area of Pacific Ocean is almost equal to area of all other oceans combined.
- More diversity of landforms can be observed in oceans than continents.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Although Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean than other oceans, its area is far lesser than all other oceans area combined.
Continental slope, Guyots, Trenches and other landforms can be observed in the ocean which is far diverse than the continents.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following is true about Profundal zone?
Correct
Solution: a)
The profundal zone is a very cold zone, such as an ocean or a lake, located below the range of effective light penetration. This is typically below the thermocline, the vertical zone in the water through which temperature drops rapidly. The lack of light in the profundal zone determines the type of biological community that can live in this region, which is distinctly different from the community in the overlying waters. The profundal zone is part of the aphotic zone.
