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.

A There is plenty of water in the soil
B There is too high a concentration of salts for the plants to absorb sufficient water from the soil
C Light available to plant is not sufficient
D The soil is muddy
Correct Answer: There is too high a concentration of salts for the plants to absorb sufficient water from the soil
Plants are killed in winter by frost:
A Because there is no transpiration
B Because respiration ceases at such a low temperature
C Because no photosynthesis takes place at such a low temperature
D Because of desiccation and mechanical damage to the tissues
Correct Answer: Because of desiccation and mechanical damage to the tissues
