11.When mungbeans are allowed to sprout, which vitamin is synthesized?
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “C” is correct.
Sprouting is the natural process or the first step in the seed germination process. When mungbeans are allowed to sprout, vitamin C is synthesized. Mungbeans are considered to be very healthy because it is low in calories, fibre rich, and have ample vitamins like B, C and K along with various elements.
12.In Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), K stands for-
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “B” is correct.
USLE stands for Universal Soil Loss Equation, which is a powerful tool that is widely used by soil conservationists. It was developed by W. H. Wischmeier. It predicts the annual soil loss per unit area. A = R × K × L × S × C × P
Where R = rainfall factor
K = soil erodibility factor
L = slope length factor
S = slope gradient factor
C = cropping management factor
P = Erosion control management factor
13.Most critical stage of irrigation for sugarcane is-
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “D” is correct.
Irrigation is one of the most important factors which affect the production of the crop. In irrigation also some parameters to be followed for maximum yield. The most critical stages for irrigation of sugarcane are the formative or vegetative period i.e. tillering or stem elongation stage.
14.The scientific name of noble cane is-
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “A” is correct.
The scientific name of noble cane is Saccharum officinarum. It represents the highest development of the cane species with thick barrel shaped interned, large soft rinded juicy stalks and the most important high sugar content.
15.Which one of the following sequences is being used in a combination seed treatment?
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “C” is correct.
For treating seeds to make them free from insects and pests along with high yielding, the treatment should be followed in a sequence i.e. first it should be treated with a good fungicide, then insecticide followed by rhizobium treatment for nitrogen fixation.
16.Test weight of sorghum is-
a.
b.
c.
d.

Option “B” is correct.
Test weight refers to the average weight of cereal as measured in pounds per bushel. Test weight of sorghum is 25 – 30 grams approximately.
17.By AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy), the actual measured attribute is-
a.
b.Reflectance
c.Transmittance
d.Absorption

Option “D” is correct.
AAS is Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, which is a technique for measuring the concentrations of metallic elements in different materials. It detects elements in either liquid or solid samples through the application of characteristic wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from a light source. The measured attribute is absorption.
18.
‘Bagasse’ is related to-
a.
b.Cotton
c.Potato
d.Jute

Option “A” is correct.
Bagasse is the fibrous waste material, that remains after sugarcane or sorghum stalks are crushed to extract the juice. It is used as a biofuel and in the manufacture of pulp and building materials.
