CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A++
Absorption Losses
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Loss of water from a canal or a reservoir by
capillary action and percolation and in case of canal during the process of
delivery.
Abscission
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Detachment of fruit, leaf or other parts from a
plant is called abscission.
Acid soil
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A soil which is deficient in available bases,
particularly Ca and which give an acid reaction when tested by a standard
method.
Acre foot water
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The amount of water that would cover an area of
land to a depth of one foot assuming no seepage evaporation and run off.
Acre inch day
,- CORRECT ANSWERS - Term used principally in irrigated section of United
States for measuring quantity of flow of water. It is equal to a flow which will
cover one acre to a depth of one inch in a 24 hours period or 0.042 cubic feet
per second.
Acre inch
- CORRECT ANSWERS - It is a measure of quantity of flow of water and is
equal to the flow which will cover one acre to a depth of one inch.
Acre
- CORRECT ANSWERS - (43560 sq. ft) an area of land about 220 feet long
and 198 feet wide.
Adiabatic
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A condition in which heat is neither gained nor
dissipated.
Adobe soil - CORRECT ANSWERS - These s
oils are formed by the broken material of rocks transported by both wind and
water.
Agar
- CORRECT ANSWERS - A substance made from seed weed and used in the
solid culture.
Agriculture
- CORRECT ANSWERS - It is an art, science and business of raising crops
and rearing of animals through exploring the natural resources with the
coordination of socio-economic infrastructure to meet the basic necessities of
life, i.e., food, feed, fiber and shelter.
,Allelopathy
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Phenomenon involving the release of certain
chemicals from plant parts into the environment which may when present in
sufficient amounts, inhibit or suppress the germination or growth of the plants
in the neighborhood.
Alluvial soil
- CORRECT ANSWERS - These are the soils which are formed by the
deposition of broken material of rocks transported and deposited by water of
streams and rivers.
Altitude
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Height from sea level.
Application losses
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Water losses through percolation or run off.
Arable farming
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The term arable farming refers to system in which
only crops that require cultivation of the soil are grown.
Arboriculture
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Intensive cultivation of individual trees possibly
for fruits gums and resins.
Arid region
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The region where total rain fall is less than natural
evapo - transpiration rate.
Aridity
, - CORRECT ANSWERS - It is the characteristic of a region where there is
low average rain fall or 100% available water. It is a permanent feature of
region.
Available water
- CORRECT ANSWERS - The water retained in a soil which represents the
difference between field capacity and the permanent wilting percentage is called
available water.
Barani soil
- CORRECT ANSWERS - When the source of irrigation to crop is only the
rainwater that is known as Barani soil.
Base period
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Period of time in days from the first watering of
crop before sowing and the last watering before harvesting.
Basic seed
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Is the progeny of pre - basic seed produced so as
to maintain genetic purity and identity.
Basin
- CORRECT ANSWERS - Flat area of land surrounded by low ridges or
bunds
Biological yield
- CORRECT ANSWERS - It is the total dry matter produced by a plant as a
result of photosynthesis and nutrient uptake minus that lost by respiration.
Blind hoeing
