Question 3: What is the impact of excessive phosphorus application on soil and water ecosystems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Increases soil salinity

Leads to eutrophication

Reduces soil pH

Enhances microbial activity

Question 4: In dryland farming systems, which practice is most effective in preventing wind erosion?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Maintaining continuous ground cover using drought-tolerant plants

Removing stubble to reduce wind resistance

Increasing irrigation to prevent soil from drying out

Question 5: Which form of phosphorus is most readily available to plants in slightly acidic soils?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

PO4-3

Organic phosphorus

HPO4-2

H2PO4-

Question 6: In what way does tillage contribute to soil erosion, and how can this effect be mitigated?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Tillage disrupts soil structure, leading to both wind and water erosion

Tillage can compact soil, leading to increased water runoff

Tillage increases organic matter, reducing erosion risk

Tillage loosens the soil, making it more prone to wind erosion
