Question 1: How does soil pH directly influence the availability of plant nutrients?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Higher pH improves nitrogen fixation and root development

pH has no significant impact on nutrient availability

Low pH reduces the availability of calcium and magnesium

Lower pH increases the availability of phosphorus and iron

Question 2: What is the primary benefit of crop rotation in sustainable agriculture?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It improves soil fertility by varying nutrient demands

It enhances crop yield by planting monocultures

It reduces the need for pesticide application

It prevents soil erosion by maintaining a constant plant cover

Question 3: What is the effect of selecting seeds with high disease resistance on crop management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It enhances seed germination but reduces yield potential

It reduces the plant's need for water

It reduces the need for chemical pesticide applications

It increases the susceptibility of the crop to pests

Question 4: How do seed-borne pathogens impact crop productivity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By increasing nitrogen fixation

By reducing seed size

By improving resistance to drought

By decreasing germination rates and transmitting diseases

Question 5: How can soil test results showing high phosphorus and low potassium levels be addressed for optimal crop growth?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Apply nitrogen fertilizer to balance phosphorus levels

Increase irrigation frequency to flush out excess phosphorus

Apply potassium fertilizer to balance nutrient levels

Use gypsum to reduce phosphorus solubility

Question 6: Which crop management technique is most effective in preventing soil erosion on sloped terrains?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use of deep-rooted cover crops

Shallow tillage and monocropping

Heavy irrigation

Terracing and contour farming
