Preview Questions Farm Manager | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: Which of the following is a direct consequence of soil compaction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Decreased erosion

Improved water drainage

Increased root penetration

Reduced soil aeration and root growth

Question 2: How does the use of reclaimed water for irrigation impact crop production, and what measures are needed?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reclaimed water improves crop yield due to high mineral content

Reclaimed water improves soil fertility without treatment

Reclaimed water has no impact on crops but reduces cost

Reclaimed water may contain salts and chemicals, requiring proper filtration and monitoring

Question 3: In a high-input cropping system, what is the effect of excessive nitrogen fertilization on soil health?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It improves soil structure and moisture retention

It has no impact on soil health if balanced with other nutrients

It leads to soil acidification and nutrient imbalances

It enhances microbial diversity in the soil

Question 4: What is the most appropriate action to take if an irrigation system is over-pressurized and water is running off the fields?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reducing the pressure through valves and adjusting the system's flow rate

Increasing the irrigation duration to compensate for runoff

Switching to a different irrigation system entirely

Irrigating at night to prevent evaporation losses

Question 5: What is the impact of soil compaction on crop productivity in conventional tillage systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It promotes deep-rooted plant growth

It restricts root growth, water infiltration, and nutrient uptake

It encourages rapid soil aeration and microbial activity

It increases the efficiency of chemical inputs in soil

Question 6: How does the presence of organic matter affect soil water retention and nutrient availability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It decreases water retention but increases soil aeration

It increases water holding capacity and nutrient availability

It has no effect on water retention but helps in nutrient leaching

It reduces nutrient cycling and limits water availability
