One day, a small announcement was made in school. In summer vacations, every student needs to do a project according to his/her own interest. Yash decided to grow a plant during summers and present it in front of the whole class as his project. Yash decided to grow peas. So he went to the market and bought the best quality seeds, sand and fertilizers. He came back home, went to the backyard and planted the seed. Started taking good care of it. But as day passed he began to realise that the seeds he planted are getting worse. The plant was unhealthy and very poor in quality. He tried everything but was unable to figure out the solution. (i) Rabi crops are grown in which period? (a) February to June (b) October to March (c) June to November (d) December to January Ans. Option (b) is correct. Explanation: Rabi crops are grown in winters from October to March and harvested in spring. They require warm climate for germination of seeds and cold climate to grow. Wheat, pea, barley are the examples of rabi crops. (ii) Which system is used for irrigation? (a) Water (b) Sprinkler System (c) Drip System (d) Both b and c Ans. Option (d) is correct. Explanation: Sprinkler system- It is the modern method of irrigation. In this system water passes through a pipe generally by pumping to watering a farm. In this, water is split into tiny drops that falls to the farms. Drip System- It is also a method of modern irrigation. In this system, waterfalls drop by drop near the roots. it is a type of micro-irrigation which helps to save water. (iii) Why Yash’s crops were grown unhealthy? Ans. Peas are the Rabi Crops which grows in winters i.e. from October to march and requires low temp at the seedling stage. (iv) What are the disadvantages of fertilisers?
8 SCIENCE CPM C - OT - 1 AP NAVPPAD – GIVING WINGS TO YOUR DREAMZ CONTACT– 7574913158 / 7574911358 Ans. The disadvantages of fertilisers are – (i) Fertilisers change the nature of the soil and reduce its fertility. (ii) Inadequate use of fertilisers can lead to pollution.
Assertion and question: (4)
A Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. B Both the reason and assertion are true but the assertion is not the correct explanation for reason. C Assertion is true but reason is false. D Both the reason and assertion are false 1. Assertion: Use of fertilizers greatly enhances crop productivity. Reason: Irrigation is very important in increasing crop productivity. Solution The correct option is B 2. Assertion: organic farming is very beneficial for to increase crop production. Reason: bacteria, fungi, mycorrhiza, cyanobacteria are better bio fertilizer which fixes nitrogen and increase soil fertility 3. Assertion: Seed drill and hoe are the agricultural implements. Reason: Agricultural practices are done by using tools. Difficulty Level: Medium Ans. Option (a) is correct. Explanation: Agricultural Practices are carried out by using various tools know as agricultural implements. Hoes is used to loosen up the soil and for weeding, seed drill is used for sowing seeds. 4. Assertion: Water does not play any role in crop production. Reason: Irrigation helps in crop productivity. Difficulty Level: Medium Ans. Option (d) is correct.
