Agriculture MCQs cover fundamental and applied concepts related to farming, crop production, soil science, irrigation, fertilizers, plant breeding, pests, and agricultural economics. This topic is designed to strengthen conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills through objective questions. It is especially useful for competitive exams such as PPSC, FPSC, KPPSC, BPSC, NTS, OTS, and other testing services, helping candidates prepare with exam-oriented and up-to-date agricultural knowledge.

The major factors that make today’s ‘land-use crisis’ a global issue of greatest concern is:
A The magnitude of the problem on terms of people and areas affected, which is unprecedented in history
B The accelerating nature of the processes involved and the increasing irreversibility of their results
C The lack of success (for socio-economic, cultural or ecological reasons) of most agriculture technologies from temperate regions to solve land-productivity problems over large areas of the topics
D All of the above
Correct Answer: All of the above
Strategy for action:
A Agroforestry and social forestry as land use
