1. A. Soil type
 Soil type significantly influences
crop production because it
affects water retention, nutrient
availability, and root penetration,
all of which are crucial for plant
growth.
2. A. Review past harvest data
 Analyzing past harvest data helps
identify patterns, successes, and
failures, enabling better estimates
of future crop production
through informed decision-
making.
3. A. Seeds needed per hectare
 Calculating the number of seeds
needed per hectare is a basic and
essential farming calculation,
necessary for planning the
planting density to achieve
optimal yield.
4. A. Attend training programs
 Attending training programs
offers structured learning and the
opportunity to gain new, updated
information and techniques to
improve farm calculation skills.
5. C. Calculate exact fertilizer needed
 Basic calculations can significantly
improve farming by enabling
precise fertilizer application, thus
optimizing growth conditions
while minimizing waste and
environmental impact.
6. D. Plant debris
 Plant debris is a form of farm
waste in crop production,
resulting from crop residues and
other organic material that can
be recycled or needs to be
disposed of properly.
7. C. Reuse and recycle
 Collecting farm waste allows for
the reuse and recycling of
materials, contributing to
sustainability and reducing the
environmental footprint of
farming practices.
8. C. How to dispose of waste
 When collecting farm waste, it's
crucial to consider disposal
methods to ensure they are
environmentally friendly and
comply with regulations.
9. C. Follow disposal rules
 Safely collecting and disposing of
farm waste requires adherence to
legal and environmental
regulations to prevent pollution
and promote sustainability.
10. B. Make compost
 Collected farm waste can be used
to make compost, a natural
fertilizer that enriches the soil and
promotes healthy crop growth.
11. B. Recycle and lessen environmental
impact
 Collecting farm waste helps
recycle materials and lessen the
environmental impact of farming,
supporting sustainability.
12. C. Animal manure
 Animal manure is a type of farm
waste that should be collected in
crop production due to its
potential use as a natural fertilizer
and to maintain hygiene and
prevent pollution.
13. D. Collection and disposal costs
 Considering the costs associated
with the collection and disposal
of farm waste is important to
ensure that waste management
practices are economically viable.
14. B. Train workers on collection
 Efficiently collecting farm waste
can be achieved by training
workers on proper collection
methods, ensuring that waste is
handled effectively and safely.
15. C. Produce more plants
 Propagation is performed in crop
production primarily to produce
more plants from existing ones,
increasing the stock of crops or
plants available for cultivation.
16. A. When to propagate
 Timing is crucial in crop
propagation to ensure the
success of generating new plants,
taking into account the optimal
conditions required for each
propagation method.
17. C. Try different techniques
  Getting better at crop
propagation involves
experimenting with different
techniques to determine which
methods work best for specific
plants or conditions.
18. B. Grafting
 Grafting is often the best way to
propagate fruit trees because it
combines desirable traits from
two plants, such as fruit quality
and rootstock resilience.
19. D. Seed propagation
 Propagating a new tomato variety
is commonly done through seed
propagation, allowing for the
growth of new plants that carry
the genetic material of the parent
plant.
20. B. Layering
 Layering is a space-saving
propagation technique that
involves rooting a part of the
parent plant while it is still
attached, eventually allowing it to
be separated as an independent
plant.
21. C. Seed propagation
 Seed propagation is the fastest
way to produce a large number
of plants, as seeds can be sown in
bulk and grown simultaneously.
22. D. Grafting
 Grafting is an effective method to
propagate disease-resistant fruit
trees by combining the disease
resistance trait of one plant with
the desirable fruit characteristics
of another.
23. A. Ensure good traits
 Checking the traits of the mother
plant before propagation is
important to ensure that the
propagated plants will inherit
desirable characteristics.
24. B. Bad parent plant traits
 Propagated plants can be weak if
they inherit poor traits from the
parent plant, highlighting the
importance of selecting healthy
and vigorous parent plants for
propagation.
25. A. Compare technique costs
 Weighing the costs and benefits
of different propagation
techniques involves comparing
the expenses associated with
each method against the
potential benefits, such as yield
and quality.
26. C. Propagate for pest resistance
 For high-yield but pest-prone
plants, propagating varieties that
are resistant to pests can address
the issue without compromising
yield.
27. D. Waste from propagation
 Considering the environmental
impact of propagation includes
managing waste produced during
the process, ensuring sustainable
practices.
28. D. Moisture for roots
 Watering crops provides the
necessary moisture for roots,
essential for plant growth and
development.
29. D. All of these
 Watering needs are affected by
soil type, sunlight, and crop type,
as these factors influence
evaporation rates, water
retention, and the specific water
requirements of different plants.
30. A. Morning
 Watering in the morning is
generally considered the best
time because it allows water to
penetrate deeply before the heat
of the day increases evaporation
and it reduces the risk of fungal
diseases that can occur with
evening watering.
31. D. Depends on conditions
 The best watering frequency
depends on various conditions,
including climate, soil type, and
crop needs, emphasizing the
importance of adjusting watering
practices to specific situations.
32. D. All above
 Overwatering can lead to lower
yield and growth, increase the
risk of disease, and cause erosion,
highlighting the need for careful
water management.

moisture, and increased pest
problems due to weakened plant
health.
36. A. Drip
 Drip irrigation saves more water
and can provide better crop yield
than flood irrigation because it
delivers water directly to the
plant roots, reducing evaporation
and runoff.
37. C. Sprinkler, furrow, pivot
 Crops can be watered using
various methods such as
sprinklers, furrow irrigation, and
center pivot systems, each
suitable for different types of
crops and field conditions.
38. B. Drip
 Drip irrigation is often the best
method for maintaining optimal
soil wetness, as it allows precise
control of water delivery to the
plant roots.
39. B. Soil wetness, sunlight, growth

 When choosing when to water
crops, considering factors like soil
wetness, sunlight, and the growth
stage of the plants is crucial for
