Question 1: Which of the following methods is most accurate for measuring soil organic carbon?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Colorimetric analysis

Mass spectrometry

Walkley-Black method

Loss-on-ignition method

Question 2: How do environmental stressors like drought and heat influence seed selection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Seed size is the most important factor under stress

Stress tolerance is irrelevant to seed selection

Seeds with higher water content perform better under stress

Seeds that are tolerant to drought and heat improve crop performance

Question 3: How does the use of biochar influence soil fertility, based on soil analysis results?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It increases soil salinity and restricts plant growth

It enhances soil carbon content and increases nutrient retention

It reduces soil pH and limits nutrient availability

It has little to no impact on soil fertility

Question 4: What role do genetic markers play in seed selection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They provide insights into crop nutrient needs

They enhance seed longevity during storage

They help trace the seed's origin and purity

They help identify pest-resistant traits

Question 5: When soil analysis reveals a high nitrogen content, what management strategy is most appropriate for optimizing crop growth?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Increasing phosphorus application to balance nutrient ratios

Reducing nitrogen fertilizer application

Adding more organic matter to increase soil fertility

Enhancing irrigation to flush out excess nitrogen

Question 6: Which agricultural practice reduces pest habitat but may harm biodiversity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Monocropping

Reduced tillage

Cover cropping

Strip cropping
