7.5.2 Farming Techniques

Cards (65)

  • Farming techniques aim to optimize food production while minimizing environmental impact
  • Monoculture involves growing a single crop species in a field.

    True
  • Applying chemicals to control pests is called pesticide use
  • What is the purpose of crop rotation in farming?
    Improve soil health
  • Match the farming technique with its primary goal:
    Crop Rotation ↔️ Improve soil health
    Irrigation ↔️ Supply water to crops
    Fertilization ↔️ Add nutrients to the soil
  • Adding nutrients to the soil using organic or chemical fertilizers is called fertilization
  • What is the main goal of traditional farming techniques?
    Optimize food production
  • What is the primary purpose of farming techniques?
    Optimize food production
  • Crop rotation helps reduce pest infestations in crops.

    True
  • What are the two primary aims of farming techniques?
    Optimize food production and minimize environmental impact
  • Irrigation systems use controlled methods like sprinklers or drip systems to supply water to crops

    True
  • What are farming techniques used for?
    Cultivating crops and rearing livestock
  • Match the farming technique with its description:
    Crop Rotation ↔️ Alternating crops to improve soil health
    Irrigation ↔️ Supplying water to crops
    Fertilization ↔️ Adding nutrients to the soil
  • Arrange the following farming techniques from least to most environmentally intensive:
    1️⃣ Crop Rotation
    2️⃣ Irrigation
    3️⃣ Fertilization
    4️⃣ Pesticide Use
  • Crop rotation helps reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

    True
  • Supplying water to crops through controlled methods is known as irrigation
  • Which farming technique involves alternating crops to improve soil health?
    Crop Rotation
  • Monoculture is a sustainable farming practice that improves soil health.
    False
  • Alternating crops in a sequence to improve soil health is known as crop rotation
  • Supplying water to crops via sprinklers or drip systems is called irrigation
  • Crop rotation involves alternating different crops in a sequence to improve soil health and reduce pest infestations
  • What is the purpose of fertilization in farming?
    To add nutrients to the soil
  • Pesticide use in farming involves applying chemicals to control pests that damage crops
  • Monoculture is a farming technique that promotes soil health and crop diversity
    False
  • Traditional irrigation involves providing water through controlled methods
  • What is the purpose of precision farming in modern agriculture?
    To monitor and control inputs precisely
  • What is the main advantage of vertical farming?
    Maximizes yield per unit of land
  • Sustainable farming uses crop rotation, biological pest control, and organic fertilizers instead of synthetic chemicals
  • Steps in sustainable farming with organic methods:
    1️⃣ Use crop rotation to improve soil health
    2️⃣ Apply biological pest control
    3️⃣ Add organic fertilizers to the soil
  • Crop rotation involves alternating different crops in a sequence to improve soil health and reduce pest infestations
  • Farming techniques aim to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure a sustainable food supply
    True
  • Farming techniques aim to optimize food production while minimizing environmental impact.

    True
  • Match the farming technique with its description:
    Crop Rotation ↔️ Alternating crops to improve soil health
    Irrigation ↔️ Supplying water to crops
    Fertilization ↔️ Adding nutrients to the soil
  • What is the purpose of monoculture in farming?
    Maximize yield
  • Farming techniques minimize environmental impact by improving soil quality and managing pests.

    True
  • Arrange the following traditional farming techniques in a logical order to improve soil health:
    1️⃣ Crop Rotation
    2️⃣ Irrigation
    3️⃣ Fertilization
    4️⃣ Pesticide Use
  • Traditional farming practices enhance soil fertility and manage pests.

    True
  • How does organic farming differ from precision farming?
    Avoids synthetic chemicals
  • Match the sustainable farming technique with its description:
    Organic Farming ↔️ Using natural methods instead of chemicals
    Precision Farming ↔️ Using technology to monitor inputs
  • Sustainable farming techniques enhance the long-term viability and efficiency of agriculture.
