June exam
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 memoranda. 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
Topics covered:
Maize - cultivars, classification
Maize - soil
Maize – irrigation and fertilization requirements
Maize – establishment and pests
Crop rotation

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 the soil
machining 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 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 statement It shows all income such as operating, capital and non-farming 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 Never use unregistered chemicals.

Ammonium sulphate Use on alkaline soil.
Six leaf stage A richly branched adventitious root system develops.
Bubble burn Bubble burns on all parts of the young plants and forms irregular
swellings that can be larger than oranges.
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 resources in
practice 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 farming Sometimes referred to as controlled environment 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. e.g. dew, fog,
hail, snow, rainfall
Infiltration This is when water drains through the upper layer to the lower layers
and the water table.
Formula to calculate
depreciation
Belt positioning plus Fertilizer is readily available and sufficient for high production. It
broadcasting stimulates root growth.
