Term 1_2025
Previous exam papers have been used to compile these notes, @IMPAQ June Exam
2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023. These are only suggested answers from the
memorandums. Some information is repeated, I want to show you the different ways
the same information is asked.
I encourage you to answer the calculation/illustration questions without looking at the
answers first.
Good luck. Juffrou Ansie
CONTENT COVERED
1. CROP PRODUCTION
2. SOIL AND WATER MANAGEMENT
3. FERTILISER MANAGEMENT AND APPLICATION
Multiple – choice questions
Strip irrigation Strip irrigation is particularly suitable for sites with a slight slope
Flood irrigation This is a method where water is pumped into the land and it
then flows into the pre-made furrows to reach the plants. This
method is very easy and cheap.

Comb irrigation The piece of land to be irrigated is divided into a number of
smaller units.
Three point sprayer A three-point sprayer has a low centre of gravity and therefore
has the best stability when working on uneven and sloping
ground.
Conventional For conventional tillage, the residues must be well mixed with
machining the soil before starting the primary tillage.
Weed seed Weed seeds can lie in the soil for years before they germinate.
The seeds of Stinkleaf have remained viable for 80 years
Clear solution It can be compared to a solution of some salt in water and
precipitation is impossible.
Compulsory risks Compulsory risks a farmer cannot afford not to accept. Such
risks are of such a nature that potential losses are small and the
potential benefits are very large.
Unaffordable risk If the farmer wants to start a stud but doesn't have enough
capital to expand it big enough to be sustainable, it amounts
to waste.
Growth stage 2 Stage in which nitrogen is applied as head fertilizer.
Growth stage 3 This is a critical stage for maize, because moisture and nutrient
deficiencies will slow growth of the head
Balance sheet The statement that shows the financial position in which a farm
is at a given time.
A cash flow It shows all income such as operating, capital and non-farming
statement income as well as all expenses such as operating, capital, non-
farming expenditure and debt payments
Clay Clay plays a very important role in soil's chemical properties.
This structure means that it has a negative charge.
Irrigation To make very dry, barren land arable.
Crop protection The purpose of crop protection is to minimize the risk that may
adversely affect the crop. Never use unregistered chemicals.

Ammonium Use on alkaline soil.
sulphate
Six leaf stage A richly branched adventitious root system develops.
Root Galls Root galls on all parts of the young plants and forms irregular
swellings that can be larger than oranges.
Sideroots That kind of roots that stretch a meter sideward and two meter
downward.
Ground The origin is from rocks that have weathered
Physical inventory This document must be updated once a year.
Molybdenum Plays a role in the formation of proteins
Tillage Has an influence on the risk of crop cultivation.
Cultivar Maize seeds that have been developed to a certain extent.
Cultivars that tend to have open tips are more prone to head
rots such as Diplopia and Fusarium
Crop management Farmers must regularly look at ways to manage the natural
practice resources in such a way that a productive agricultural system
can be maintained.
The purpose of crop protection is to minimize the risk that may
adversely affect the crop.
Greenhouse Sometimes referred to as controlled environment farming
farming
Hard dough stage Growth stage 8 in maize.
A soil analysis An indication of the availability of a specific plant nutrient in
the soil for the plant.
Weed Absorbs valuable moisture and nutrients from the soil that are
essential for the maize plant.
Oxygen Is important for root growth, nutrient uptake and biological
activity.
Pergolas Provides a support system on which the shoots and leaves rest.
Precipitation The movement of water from the atmosphere to the earth. eg
dew, fog, hail, snow, rainfall
