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.
