Here are the solutions to the questions:
16. A crop that best exhibits the observed symptoms when the nutrient is deficient is The symptoms described in the previous question (Q15) were poor root formation, immature dropping of fruits, and leaves turning purple, which are characteristic of phosphorus deficiency. Maize is known to exhibit purpling of leaves when phosphorus is deficient.
17. Lost nutrients could be replenished in soils by Cover cropping involves planting crops to cover the soil, which helps to prevent erosion, suppress weeds, and, especially with leguminous cover crops, add organic matter and fix nitrogen, thereby replenishing soil nutrients.
18. The bacterium that converts atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia is Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia. Azotobacter is a genus of free-living bacteria known for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
19. An example of an overhead irrigation system is Overhead irrigation systems apply water from above the crop, mimicking rainfall. Sprinklers are a common type of overhead irrigation that spray water over the field.
20. Molasses is a by-product obtained from the processing of Molasses is a thick, dark syrup that is a by-product of the refining of sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar.
21. Cocoyam is propagated by Cocoyam (e.g., Colocasia esculenta or Xanthosoma sagittifolium) is a tuber crop that is vegetatively propagated using its underground stem, which is called a corm.
22. If maize requires of calcium nitrate fertilizer per hectare, the quantity of fertilizer required for of farmland is Step 1: Convert hectares to square meters. Step 2: Calculate the fertilizer required per square meter. Step 3: Calculate the total fertilizer needed for .
23. Which of the following crops is a fruit vegetable? A fruit vegetable is botanically a fruit (develops from the flower's ovary and contains seeds) but is used culinarily as a vegetable. Okra fits this description.
24. Budding and grafting could be carried out on the following plants except Budding and grafting are vegetative propagation techniques typically used for dicotyledonous (woody) plants. Monocotyledonous plants, such as oil palm, generally lack the vascular cambium necessary for successful grafting.
25. Two varieties of cocoa are Trinitario and Amelonado are well-known and widely cultivated varieties of cocoa (Theobroma cacao).
26. A crop that does not require the application of urea is Urea is a nitrogenous fertilizer. Leguminous crops, such as soybean (Glycine max), have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules, allowing them to fix atmospheric nitrogen and thus requiring less or no external nitrogen fertilizer.
27. The removal of husks from grains is referred to as Threshing is the process of separating the edible grain from the inedible chaff (husks) and straw.
