1In Indian crop calendars, the kharif season is mainly associated with crops sown at the onset of:
A.Winter frost and low temperature
B.Southwest monsoon rains
C.Only artificial fog irrigation
D.Deep winter dormancy only
Explanation: Kharif (monsoon) crops such as paddy, jowar, bajra, cotton, and soybean are typically sown with the southwest monsoon. Rabi crops follow cooler post-monsoon conditions.
2Wheat in Maharashtra is primarily cultivated as a:
A.Kharif cereal under deep flooding only
B.Rabi cereal under cooler post-monsoon conditions
C.Perennial plantation crop lasting 10 years
D.Aquatic vegetable grown only in ponds
Explanation: Wheat is a classic rabi cereal grown in cooler months after monsoon crops. It is not a perennial plantation crop.
3Intercropping means growing:
A.One crop only after complete harvest of another on the same plot in sequence
B.Two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite row pattern
C.Only forest trees without any field crop
D.A single weed species as the main produce
Explanation: Intercropping places two or more crops together in space (often in rows) to improve resource use and risk management. Sequential cropping on the same land over time is crop rotation/sequence, not intercropping.
4Among the following, which is a major pulse crop commonly grown for dal and soil nitrogen contribution?
A.Cotton lint only
B.Gram (chickpea)
C.Sugarcane setts only
D.Eucalyptus timber
Explanation: Gram (Cicer arietinum) is a key pulse/legume; legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen via root nodules when Rhizobium is active. Cotton, cane, and timber are not pulses.
5A cropping system that grows the same crop on the same land year after year without rotation is called:
A.Mixed farming with dairy only
B.Monoculture (continuous sole cropping)
C.Agroforestry only
D.Greenhouse hydroponics only
Explanation: Continuous sole cropping of one species is monoculture. It can simplify management but often increases pest, disease, and nutrient imbalance risks versus diversified rotations.
6For transplanted paddy, seedlings are usually raised first in a:
A.Deep orchard pit only
B.Nursery bed, then planted into the main field
C.Cold storage vault without soil
D.Only in permanent concrete silos
Explanation: Transplanted rice uses nursery-raised seedlings that are later planted in puddled main fields. Direct-seeded rice skips transplanting but is a different system.
7In dryland Maharashtra, pearl millet (bajra) is valued mainly because it is relatively:
A.Intolerant of any drought and needs continuous flooding
B.Drought-tolerant and suited to light/sandy soils and low rainfall zones
C.A temperate plantation spice only
D.Grown only under permanent snow cover
Explanation: Bajra is a hardy millet adapted to drought-prone, lighter soils and lower rainfall—important in rainfed systems.
8Cotton is primarily classified as a:
A.Cereal grain harvested for flour only
B.Fibre (lint) cash crop with seed as an oil/meal by-product
C.Root tuber vegetable like potato
D.Forage grass for only dairy pastures
Explanation: Cotton’s main economic product is lint fibre; seed yields oil and cake. It is not a cereal, tuber, or pure forage grass.
9Relay cropping differs from pure sequential cropping mainly because the second crop is sown:
A.Only after complete soil sterilization for 5 years
B.Before the first crop is fully harvested, overlapping in the field
C.Only in another district’s market yard
D.Exclusively underwater without any first crop
Explanation: Relay cropping staggers planting so the second crop starts before the first is fully cleared, overlapping time in the field. Pure sequential cropping waits until the first crop is harvested.
10Sugarcane is commonly propagated commercially by:
A.True botanical seed only in all commercial fields
B.Setts (stem cuttings) with healthy buds
C.Leaf midrib strips only
D.Root hairs collected from nursery weeds
Explanation: Commercial cane uses setts—stem pieces with viable buds—because true seed is genetically variable and not the standard production method for hybrid commercial cane.
