Environmental physiology in agriculture is the study of:
Soil fertility and manure application
How environmental factors affect the growth and performance of farm animals and crops
Animal breeding techniques
Farm machinery and tools
Which of the following is not an environmental factor affecting animal performance?
Temperature
Humidity
Feed quality
Colour of animal
High environmental temperature causes animals to:
Eat more feed
Drink less water
Reduce feed intake and increase water intake
Sleep longer
Low humidity in the environment can cause:
Increase in heat stress
Decrease in evaporation rate
Increase in crop disease attack
Increase in soil water content
Which of the following environmental factors affects crop growth most directly?
Rainfall, temperature, and sunlight
Animal feed and housing
Vaccination and medication
Movement of animals
A suitable way to reduce heat stress in livestock is to:
Provide shade and sufficient drinking water
Keep animals in the open sun
Feed animals during the hottest hours
Reduce water supply
Surveying in agriculture is mainly concerned with:
Measuring rainfall in a farm
Determining the size and boundaries of farmland
Counting the number of animals on a farm
Estimating crop yield
The process of arranging and locating various farm buildings and structures for efficient operation is known as:
Land clearing
Farm mapping
Farmstead planning
Land tenure
Which of the following instruments is commonly used in land surveying?
Thermometer
Compass and measuring tape
Microscope
Hand lens
A good farmstead layout should ensure:
Wastage of land and resources
Easy movement of people, animals, and machinery
Clustering of all activities in one corner
Random arrangement of buildings
One of the main objectives of farmstead planning is to:
Increase distance between farm units
Ensure effective use of land and labour
Encourage soil erosion
Reduce farm production
Which of the following should be located far from the farmhouse in a farmstead plan?
Storehouse
Livestock pens
Waste disposal site or dung pit
Farm office
Before farm planning is carried out, the first operation is:
Planting crops
Land clearing
Land surveying and mapping
Building structures
In planning a farmstead, the farmhouse should be located:
In a swampy area
) At a central and accessible location
Near animal waste dumps
Far away from the road
Which of the following is not considered when planning a farmstead?
Topography of the land
Soil type and drainage
Farmer’s religion
Availability of water supply
Irrigation is the process of:
Removing excess water from the soil
Supplying water to crops during dry periods
Preventing soil erosion
Measuring rainfall
Drainage in agriculture means:
Addition of fertilizer to the soil
Removal of excess water from the soil
Watering of crops in dry season
Clearing bushes and weeds
A major importance of irrigation is that it:
Reduces soil fertility
Increases crop yield during dry seasons
Causes waterlogging
Encourages flooding
A well-designed drainage system helps to:
Increase soil acidity
Prevent waterlogging and improve aeration
Encourage soil compaction
Reduce crop root growth
Which of the following is a problem facing agricultural development?
Pests and diseases
Mechanized farming
Adequate fertilizer supply
Improved irrigation
