Practice set
a. Which of the following is not a Rabi crop? 
A. Maize
2.why is manure better than fertilisers? 
A. All of these
3.which one of the following does not damage crop? 
A. Manure
D. One of these fruits is dispersed by water. Which one is it. 
A. Lotus
a) root and stem (function) 
A. Root perform function of absorbing water and nutrients from soil. 
Stem transports water and nutrients to different parts of plant. 
b) Jowar and wheat ( growing months) 
A. Jowar is kharif crop grown in june- October wheat is rabi crop grown in November - April
c) potato and sweet potato ( Reproduction from other parts) 
A. Potato are grown from buds sweet potato are grown from roots of mother plant. 
d) manure and fertiliser (source) 
A. Manure is made from cow dung, lead and decaying plant animals and vegetable fertilise is made from chemicals such as nitrate and urea. 
 
e) a coconut seed and a dandelion seed (dispersal) 
A. A coconut seed is despersed by water. A dandelion seed is dispersed by wind. 
Statement 1- very large - scale storage of grains is done in silos. 
Statement 2 - grains must be stored in moisture - laden rooms. 
A- statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect. 
A-farmer use organic and chemical fertiliser to provide nutrients to crops. 
b) what is the function of cotyledons? 
A. Cotyledons hold food that seedling consumes as it grows. 
c) what are silos? 
A. Silos are used by farmers to store grains as large scale. 
d) what are the conditions necessary for germination? 
A. Water, air and sunlight is necessary for seed germination. 
e) Give examples of plants that reproduce by spores. 
A. Mushrooms, ferns and mosses reproduce by spores. 
Q6:- Long answer type questions
a) Name any two agents of dispersal and explain how they work along with two examples. 
Ans. Water flowing water carries seeds of plants that grow in or near waterbodies. 
Wind: seeds that are light and smally get dispersed by dispersed. 
Example- Drumstick
2.what would have happened if seed dispersal had not existed? 
Ans. Plants are immobile and cannot move from one location to another if all seeds fall near the plant and germinate, they will not have enough light water and space. Seed dispersal is necessary to avoid over crowding and competitions for various essential components among plants. Hence it is absolutely essential that seeds are dispersed. 
3.why the grains should be stored in dry and well-ventilated rooms? 
Ans. Grains should always be stored in dry and ventilated roooms to avoid spoilage of grains dry & ventilated rooms helps to keeping grains in dry and ventilated room avoids microbial growth keeping graiy is silos avoids risk of pets infestation. Keep grains in proper ventilate. 
4.why do farmers use fertilisers? 
Ans. Farmers use fertiliser to nourish soil with impory nutrients. Naturally soil doesn't have essential components such as phosu, nitrogen & potassium for agriculture. Using fertiliser boosts growth of crops and increases soil fertiliser are generally of two types viz organic and inorganic. 
5.how do farmers protect their crops? 
Ans. Crop protection includes protecting grown crops against insects, diseases weeds fungi and other undesirable pets by using pesticide and insecticides grazing animals such as cows, goats and animals like rats, birds, squirrels and moles eat up fruit crops . They should be kept away from the fields. Pesticides, insecticides or fugicides are used to kill insects , bacteria and viruses who cause diseases in crop.
