Question 3

An agricultural scientist is advising farmers in the Gangetic plains on crop selection based on soil characteristics and water retention capabilities. If the scientist identifies a region predominantly characterized by older alluvial soils, rich in kankar nodules, and slightly elevated from the floodplains, which of the following agricultural practices would be most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

C. Implementing irrigation systems to support a variety of crops, including wheat and pulses, in relatively fertile but less flood-prone areas. — The description refers to Bhangar lands, which are older alluvial plains situated above the flood level of rivers. These soils are relatively fertile but contain calcareous concretions (kankar nodules) and are less renewed by annual floods than Khadar soils. Therefore, implementing irrigation systems is crucial to maximize agricultural productivity for a variety of crops like wheat and pulses, as they are not naturally inundated annually. Dryland farming or specialized fruit orchards on gravelly soils are characteristic of different regions (e.g., Bhabar for gravelly soils).

Answer

A. Cultivating water-intensive crops like rice and sugarcane without significant irrigation.

Answer

B. Focusing on dryland farming of pulses and millets due to inherently poor water retention.

Answer

D. Utilizing the highly porous and gravelly soils for specialized fruit orchards requiring excellent drainage.

Options A and D are achievable in this stage, while option C is more related to memory than operational thought.
