Sample BSEH SS Agriculture Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the BSEH SS Agriculture exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Crops sown at the onset of the southwest monsoon in India are generally classified as:
A.Rabi crops
B.Kharif crops
C.Zaid crops
D.Perennial plantation crops only
Explanation: Kharif crops are sown with the southwest monsoon (roughly June–July) and harvested in autumn.
2Which practice grows two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite row pattern?
A.Mixed cropping
B.Intercropping
C.Relay cropping
D.Monocropping
Explanation: Intercropping places component crops in a planned row arrangement (e.g., 1:1, 2:1), unlike mixed cropping’s random mixing.
3Tillage that leaves a fine, firm, weed-free seedbed with good soil–seed contact primarily improves:
A.Only subsoil drainage to bedrock
B.Tilth for germination and early root growth
C.Absolute prevention of all soil erosion
D.Elimination of the need for any fertilizer
Explanation: Good tilth is the physical condition of soil that favors seed germination, root penetration, and moisture retention.
4Crop rotation mainly helps to:
A.Grow only one crop forever for maximum specialization
B.Break pest/disease cycles and maintain soil fertility
C.Guarantee rainfall every year
D.Replace the need for any organic matter forever
Explanation: Rotating crops (especially cereals with legumes) disrupts host-specific pests/diseases and balances nutrient use.
5Relay cropping is best described as:
A.Sowing a second crop after complete harvest of the first with a long fallow
B.Sowing the next crop before the standing crop is harvested
C.Growing trees only in forest plantations
D.Applying fertilizer only at harvest
Explanation: In relay cropping, the succeeding crop is sown while the previous crop is still standing so field time is used efficiently.
6Soil fertility differs from soil productivity mainly because fertility refers to:
A.The inherent nutrient-supplying capacity of the soil
B.Only the market price of the harvested crop
C.Rainfall total in a watershed only
D.The number of tractors owned by the farmer
Explanation: Fertility is the soil’s capacity to supply essential nutrients in available forms; productivity also depends on climate, management, water, and pests.
7According to Arnon’s criteria of essentiality, an element is essential if it is required for the plant to complete its life cycle and:
A.Can always be replaced by sodium in all plants
B.Has a direct role in plant metabolism and deficiency is specific
C.Is present only in the atmosphere
D.Is needed only for animal nutrition, not plants
Explanation: Essential elements have a specific physiological role; deficiency produces characteristic symptoms that only that element corrects.
8Yellowing of older leaves first is a classic deficiency symptom most often associated with:
A.Nitrogen
B.Iron
C.Calcium
D.Boron
Explanation: Nitrogen is mobile in plants; deficiency shows first on older leaves as chlorosis because N is remobilized to young tissue.
9Urea fertilizer contains approximately what percentage of nitrogen?
A.18%
B.46%
C.60%
D.12%
Explanation: Commercial urea is about 46% N — the highest N concentration among common solid nitrogenous fertilizers.
10Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) is primarily valued as a source of:
A.Only micronutrient zinc
B.Nitrogen and phosphorus
C.Only potassium
D.Only calcium carbonate
Explanation: DAP supplies both N (~18%) and P₂O₅ (~46%), so it is a compound N–P fertilizer.

BSEH SS Agriculture: Suggested Study Strategy

1Build a two-column notebook of definitions (tilth, fertility vs productivity, intercropping vs mixed cropping, parthenocarpy) for quick objective recall.
2For field and horticultural crops, always link season + climate/soil + one signature cultural practice before picking options.
3Nutrient deficiency symptoms (N, P, K, Fe, Zn, etc.) and fertilizer composition (urea, DAP, MOP) are high-frequency MCQ traps.
4Contrast surface vs micro-irrigation and mechanical vs chemical vs integrated weed control with one example each.
5Use current BSEH Class 12 Agriculture syllabus and practical lists from bseh.org.in so theory MCQs reinforce identification and soil-test practicals.
