7. Three qualities of a good green manuring plant are:

   • It should have a fast growth rate to produce biomass quickly.
   • It should produce a high amount of biomass (vegetative matter) to be incorporated into the soil.
   • It should be easy to incorporate into the soil.
   • Ideally, it should be a leguminous plant capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen.

8. Four reasons for practicing minimum tillage are:

   • Reduces soil erosion by wind and water.
   • Conserves soil moisture by leaving crop residues on the surface.
   • Improves soil structure and increases organic matter content over time.
   • Reduces fuel and labor costs associated with extensive tillage.

9. Four farm records that should be kept by a poultry farmer are:

   • Production records (e.g., number of eggs laid daily, weight of birds at different ages).
   • Feeding records (e.g., type and quantity of feed consumed).
   • Health records (e.g., vaccination dates, disease outbreaks, treatments administered).
   • Financial records (e.g., income from sales, expenses for feed, medication, labor).

10. Three ways in which pastures are classified are:

    • By establishment method: natural pastures (grow naturally) or artificial pastures (sown by farmers).
    • By duration: temporary pastures (grown for a short period) or permanent pastures (remain for many years).
    • By composition: pure stand pastures (one type of grass/legume) or mixed pastures (combination of grasses and legumes).

11. Four ways in which land reforms can be implemented in Kenya are:

    • Land tenure reforms to clarify ownership and usage rights.
    • Land consolidation to combine fragmented land parcels into larger, more viable units.
    • Land adjudication and registration to determine and record land rights.
    • Settlement and resettlement schemes to redistribute land to landless or displaced populations.
