Class 8 – Biology | A - 8 Crop Production and Management 1 1. Crop Production and Management Solutions LEVEL-I 1. Correct option: (A) Summer Vegetables are frequently readily accessible in a large range during the summer. Numerous veggies may grow well in the warm climate and longer days. During the summer, there is typically an abundance of fresh, colorful vegetables at grocery shops and farmers' markets. In addition to the large selection of veggies that are offered in the summer, this is also the season when local food is at its most flavorful and fresh. Because of their nutritious value and delectable flavor, many people choose to include these seasonal vegetables in their diets. Vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, zucchini, maize, green beans, eggplant, and a variety of leafy greens like lettuce and spinach are a few examples of those that are frequently found throughout the summer. 2. Correct option: (B) June to September. In India, the monsoon season is known as kharif and normally lasts from June to September. Farmers plant crops at this time of year because they need the water for the crops' growth and development. The monsoon rains' arrival provides the moisture these crops need to flourish. Rice, maize, millet, sorghum, cotton, sugarcane, and numerous vegetables are among the crops grown during the kharif season. Crops during the Kharif season are typically sown from the start of the monsoon season to September. The collected crops can subsequently be consumed or processed further. 3. Correct option: (A) Rice In light of its extensive global cultivation and consumption, rice has the distinction of being the world's most consumed grain. For billions of people, it is a staple dish, particularly in Asian nations where it is the foundation of the local cuisine. Rice farming is adaptable and may be done in a variety of climates, from dry ground to flooded paddy fields. In addition to giving farmers work opportunities and sustaining rural lifestyles, rice farming makes a considerable contribution to agricultural economies. Because of its high nutritional value, low cost, and extended shelf life, rice is an essential component of the world's food supply and is used to satisfy the dietary demands of many different people. 4. Correct option: (B) Seed drill A seed drill is a piece of agricultural equipment made particularly for planting seeds in the ground. It is utilized for tractor-assisted sowing and makes sure that seeds are coated in soil after planting. The way the seed drill works is by making channels or furrows in the earth, and then carefully planting the seeds at the precise depth and spacing. This exact seed-planting technique encourages consistent germination and plant development, which boosts agricultural yields. In contrast to conventional manual
