7.5.2 Farming Techniques

• 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.
