Prolonged liberal irrigation of agricultural fields is likely to create the problem of

  1. Acidity

  2. Aridity

  3. Salinity

  4. Metal toxicity
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Farmers in a particular region were concerned that pre-mature yellowing of leaves of a pulse crop might cause decrease in the yield. Which treatment could be most beneficial to obtain maximum seed yield ?

  1. Frequent irrigation of the crop

  2. Treatment of the plants with cytokinins alongwith a small dose of nitrogenous fertilizer

  3. Removal of all yellow leaves and spraying the remaining green leaves with 2,4,5- trichlorophenoxy acetic acid

  4. Application of iron and magnesium to promote synthesis of chlorophyll
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
If a pulse crop possesses premature yellowing of leaves and decrease in yield then application of magnesium and iron to promote the synthesis of chlorophyll may become most beneficial to overcome the problem and to obtain maximum seed yield.  Magnesium is an important part of the ring structure of the chlorophyll molecule and its deficiency causes chlorosis and premature I leaf abscission. In iron deficiency also, the leaves become chlorotic because iron is required for the synthesis of some of the chlorophyll-protein complexes in the chloroplast.

So, the correct answer is 'Application of iron and magnesium to promote the synthesis of chlorophyll'.
