Sample RBSE SS Agriculture Practice Questions

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

1Soil fertility mainly describes the soil’s ability to:
A.Always remain permanently wet regardless of rainfall
B.Supply essential plant nutrients in adequate amounts and suitable balance
C.Prevent all plant growth by high salt content only
D.Measure only the depth of groundwater in metres
Explanation: Soil fertility is the capacity of soil to supply essential nutrients in adequate amounts and proper balance for plant growth.
2Soil productivity differs from soil fertility because productivity also depends on:
A.Only the colour of the soil particles
B.Climate, water, management and physical conditions that allow a crop to yield
C.The brand of tractor used exclusively
D.The number of farm labourers living in the village only
Explanation: A fertile soil may still be unproductive if water, climate, drainage, pests or management limit yield. Productivity is the actual crop-producing capacity under given conditions.
3In arid and semi-arid Rajasthan, the dominant form of soil erosion that removes fine topsoil is often:
A.Glacier abrasion only
B.Volcanic ash fall
C.Tidal wave scouring on inland dunes
D.Wind erosion
Explanation: Low rainfall, sparse cover and loose sandy soils make wind erosion a major threat across much of western Rajasthan; water erosion also occurs where rains are intense.
4Sheet erosion is best described as:
A.Removal of a thin uniform layer of topsoil by runoff over a large area
B.Formation of deep, narrow channels only after earthquakes
C.Complete inversion of subsoil and topsoil by frost heaving only
D.Transport of soil solely by human backpacks
Explanation: Sheet erosion removes a thin surface layer relatively evenly and is often unnoticed until fertility declines; it precedes rill and gully stages when unchecked.
5Which practice is a standard mechanical measure against water erosion on sloping farmland?
A.Ploughing straight up and down the steepest slope every day
B.Removing all vegetative cover before the monsoon
C.Contour bunding and contour cultivation
D.Burning crop residues and leaving soil bare year-round
Explanation: Contour bunds and contour tillage intercept runoff and reduce soil loss on slopes; bare soil and up-down ploughing accelerate erosion.
6Certified seed is preferred for sowing mainly because it is:
A.Always cheaper than grain taken from the previous harvest, with no standards
B.Required to be dead seed only for laboratory display
C.Guaranteed genetically pure, with tested germination and free from objectionable weed seeds within prescribed limits
D.Mixed deliberately with other crop species to increase bulk
Explanation: Certified seed meets legal standards of genetic purity, physical purity, germination and seed health, improving stand establishment and yield potential.
7Seed dormancy is the condition in which a viable seed:
A.Fails to germinate even under favourable moisture, temperature and oxygen conditions
B.Germinates only when buried deeper than 2 metres always
C.Is always non-viable and dead
D.Can only sprout in complete darkness at −40°C
Explanation: Dormancy is a survival mechanism: viable seeds do not germinate despite favourable external conditions until dormancy is broken by time, scarification, stratification or other cues.
8Hard seed coat dormancy in pulses such as cluster bean or some legumes is commonly overcome by:
A.Storing seed permanently in boiling oil
B.Coating seed with pure table salt only
C.Scarification (mechanical, acid or hot-water treatment) to improve water uptake
D.Exposing seed to continuous freezing without rewarming ever
Explanation: Impermeable hard seed coats block imbibition; scarification or carefully controlled hot-water treatments allow water entry and germination.
9Which set best lists essential quality attributes of good seed?
A.High germination, genetic purity, physical purity, vigour and freedom from seed-borne pathogens within limits
B.Low germination, high weed-seed content and unknown variety identity
C.Broken grain only with high inert matter and no labels
D.Seed that is always wet, mouldy and heated in storage
Explanation: Quality seed combines genetic purity, physical purity, high germination/vigour and acceptable seed health so a uniform productive stand can establish.
10Soil texture refers primarily to the:
A.Arrangement of particles into aggregates only
B.Colour of the soil when wet
C.Number of earthworms counted in one hour
D.Relative proportions of sand, silt and clay particles
Explanation: Texture is the particle-size distribution (sand, silt, clay). Structure is how those particles are arranged into aggregates.
