Read the give statements and select the correct option. 
Statement 1 : Irrigation without proper drainage of water leads to waterlogging in the soil.
Statement 2 : Waterlogging draws salts to the soil surface, which are deposited as a thing crust on the land surface or start collecting at the roots of the plants.

  1. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

  2. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.

  3. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.

  4. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Improving drainage from the inundated paddock can decrease the waterlogging period at which the crop roots are subjected to anaerobic conditions. waterlogging draws salt to the surface of the soil. The salt than is deposited as a thin crust on the land surface or starts collecting at the roots of the plants. All the statements are true.

So, the correct option is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct'.

Which method of irrigation is cheaper but less efficient?

  1. Traditional method

  2. Modern method

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The supply of water to the crops at different intervals is called irrigation. Lakes, rivers, dams, canals, etc. are the sources of water for irrigation. 
  • The water from lakes or canals is lifted up by different methods. Human or cattle labor can be used for these methods. 
  • Various traditional ways of irrigation are pulley system, chain pump, dhekli, and Rahat. 
  • Traditional methods are cheaper but they are less efficient as compared to modern methods like a sprinkler system, drip system, etc.

The supply of water to crops at different intervals is____________

  1. Harvesting

  2. Winnowing

  3. Irrigation

  4. Sprinkling


Correct Option: C

  • In the case of wheat, irrigation is required at intervals during different stages of plant growth. Rice crop requires standing water in the field.


Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
