1In garden plant nutrition, farmyard manure (FYM) is best classified as:
A.A concentrated chemical nitrogen fertilizer
B.An organic manure of animal origin mixed with bedding
C.A synthetic growth hormone
D.A herbicide adjuvant only
Explanation: FYM is decomposed cattle dung and urine mixed with litter/bedding. It is a bulky organic manure that improves soil structure and supplies modest nutrients, not a concentrated chemical N fertilizer.
2Which nutrient is most closely associated with leafy vegetative growth in ornamental and garden plants?
A.Phosphorus (P)
B.Potassium (K)
C.Nitrogen (N)
D.Calcium (Ca) only as the sole growth nutrient
Explanation: Nitrogen drives chlorophyll formation and vegetative (leafy) growth. Excess N can delay flowering; deficiency causes pale green/yellow older leaves.
3Yellowing of older leaves first, with overall stunted growth, most commonly suggests deficiency of:
A.Iron (Fe)
B.Nitrogen (N)
C.Calcium (Ca)
D.Boron (B)
Explanation: Nitrogen is mobile in plants, so deficiency symptoms often appear first on older leaves as pale green to yellow (chlorosis) with reduced growth.
4Vermicompost is primarily produced by the action of:
A.Earthworms on organic residues
B.Only chemical catalysts under high pressure
C.Pathogenic fungi alone on living roots
D.Ultraviolet sterilization of sand
Explanation: Vermicomposting uses earthworms (e.g., Eisenia fetida) to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich castings (vermicompost).
5Green manuring typically involves:
A.Burning crop residues to ash only
B.Growing and incorporating a green crop (often legumes) into soil
C.Applying only pure urea without organic matter
D.Removing all organic matter from the root zone
Explanation: Green manure crops (often legumes like sunn hemp, dhaincha) are grown and ploughed in while green to add organic matter and nitrogen.
6Which statement correctly contrasts organic manure and chemical fertilizer?
A.Organic manures are always higher in % NPK than urea
B.Chemical fertilizers usually supply nutrients in more concentrated, quickly available forms
C.Organic manures never improve soil structure
D.Chemical fertilizers always increase soil organic carbon more than compost
Explanation: Chemical fertilizers are concentrated and often readily available. Organic manures are bulkier, slower-releasing, and improve soil physical condition more than pure salts.
7Phosphorus in plants is especially important for:
A.Only leaf dark-green colour with no role in roots
B.Energy transfer (ATP) and root/flower development
C.Acting as the main herbicide molecule
D.Replacing the need for water entirely
Explanation: Phosphorus is central to energy-rich phosphates (ATP/ADP) and supports root growth, flowering, and seed/fruit formation.
8Band placement of fertilizer near the root zone is done mainly to:
A.Increase weed seed germination in paths
B.Improve nutrient availability to crop roots while reducing waste
C.Destroy soil microorganisms completely
D.Replace mulching for weed control
Explanation: Placing fertilizer in bands near roots improves uptake efficiency and can reduce losses compared with careless broadcast when done correctly for the crop and product.
9Foliar application of nutrients is most appropriate when:
A.Soil is perfect and roots are fully blocked permanently
B.A quick correction of certain deficiencies (e.g., micronutrients) is needed on foliage
C.Only bulk FYM must be sprayed as a mist
D.Irrigation systems must be permanently abandoned
Explanation: Foliar feeding can give rapid response for micronutrient corrections or when soil conditions limit uptake, but it does not replace a sound soil fertility programme.
10Drip irrigation is preferred in many gardens and nurseries because it:
A.Floods the entire field surface every day by design
B.Delivers water near the root zone with high efficiency and less evaporation loss
C.Always uses more water than flood irrigation
D.Eliminates the need for any plant nutrients
Explanation: Drip (trickle) irrigation applies water slowly near roots, reducing evaporation and runoff and enabling fertigation in many systems.
