1.

Designed to work in all types of soil for basic functions such as soil breaking, soil raising, soil
turning, and soil mixing. It is especially useful in hard and dry trashy land conditions and in soils
where scouring is a major problem.

a. Chisel Plough b. Bottom Plough c. Reversible Plough

2. It constitutes the initial major soil working operation. It is normally designed to reduce soil
strength, cover plant materials and rearrange aggregates. The operations performed to open up
any cultivable land with a view to prepare a seed bed for growing crops is known as primary
tillage. Animal drawn implements mostly include indigenous plough and mold-board plough.
Tractor drawn implement include mold-board plough, disc plough, subsoil plough, chisel plough
and other similar implements.

a. Primary Tillage b. Secondary Tillage c. General Purpose Tillage

3. The following are the objectives of Primary Tillage which one is not true.

a. To reduce soil strength

b. To rearrange aggregates
c. To plant materials and burry weeds

4. To perform primary tillage operation satisfactory at any soil conditions providing deep opening
and loosening of the soil.

a. Chisel plough b. Secondary Tillage c. Reversible Plough

5. The average tillage depth of primary tillage operation.

a. 13 inches b. 11 inches c. 12 inches

6. Implement performing functions simultaneously that of initial cutting, breaking and pulverizing
the soil.

a. Primary Tillage implement c. Secondary Tillage Implement

b. General Purpose Tillage Implement

7. Implement which works under the combined principles of the regular disc plow and harrow.

a. Disc plow b. Reversible plough c. Plow harrow

8. Implement used for broadcast or strip tillage and is also used as chemical incorporator and as
row crop cultivator.

a. Plow harrow b. Rotary tiller c. Spiral plow

 9. Implement which consists of two horizontal power-driven spiral flanged shafts which rotate
vertically.

a. Rotary tiller b. Spiral plow c. Plow harrow

10. Below are the machineries that work under the principle of rotary tiller, except:

a. Rototiller b. Transplanter c. Rotavator

_________11. Tillage tools which rotate or move so that they present a varying boundary and contact
area of the soil. (Complex Tillage Operation)
_________12. Implements that cut the soil to a shallow depth for smoothening and pulverizing the soil.
(Harrow)
_________13. Animal Drawn mouldboard plough, ploughs to a depth of ________. (25 to 30 cm)
________14. Implement used for tilling the soil to a shallower depth than primary tillage implements.
(Secondary Tillage Implement)
________15. It is harrow with two gangs placed end to end, which throw the soil in opposite directions.
(Single Action Disc Harrow)

16. It is especially useful in hard and dry, trashy, stony or stumpy land conditions and in soil where
scouring is a major problem. It is more suitable for land in which there is much fibrous growth of weeds
as disc cuts and incorporates the weeds.

a. Rotary tiller b. Spiral plow c. Disc Plow

17. Designed to work in all types of soil for basic functions such as soil breaking, soil turning and soil
raising. For extremely hard ground and soil with large roots and other obstructions, one can obtain
outstanding penetration performance.

a. Rotary tiller b. Mounted Disc Plow c. Disc Plow
