Answer:
1. (c) beans
2. (b) winnowing
3. (a) harrow
4. (d)onion
5. (a) 2, 4, D
Explanation:
- 1. The crop which increases nitrogen fertility of the soil is beans.
- Beans belong to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae, which are rich in nitrogen content. These legume plants and seed tissues possess high protein levels in them.
- Legume plants can supply most of their own nitrogen needs with the help of symbiotic bacteria. And are thus beneficial in increasing nitrogen fertility of the soil.
- 2. The process of removing the grains from the seed coat is called winnowing.
- (b) Winnowing is the process of separating heavier and lighter components of a mixture by wind or blowing air.
- Farmers use this method to separate lighter husk particles from heavier seeds of grain.
- 3. The implement used to uproot weed is a harrow.
- (a) Harrow refers to a farm implement used to pulverize the soil, break up crop residues, uproot weeds, and cover seeds. Modern harrows comprise several varieties.
4. Transplanting is not done in onion.
- Transplanting is a process, wherein a seedling is uprooted from a nursery bed and transplanted to a permanent place, where it grows to produce yield.
- Solanaceous vegetable crops can endure transplanting shock and can form secondary roots.
- Hence, these can successfully be transplanted. Tomato, brinjal and chilli are ready for transplantation in 4–5 weeks after sowing.
- Rice transplantation is the most common elaborative agricultural method of crop establishment.
- Thus, transplanting is not done in onions.
5. 2, 4, D is a weedicide.
- 2, 4-D (Dichloro phenoxy acetic acid), is a chemical that kills weeds and is known as weedicide. It is used to destroy broadleaf weeds.
- 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is a widespread systemic herbicide utilized in the management of weeds with broad leaves.
