16
No please. The correct answer is Pearl
millet crop yields better than maize, cotton, and
even sorghum in drought-prone areas.
Continue
17
You are right. Pearl millet yields better than
maize, cotton, and even sorghum in drought-prone
areas.
Continue
18
Your are right. Flowering stage is most
critical stage for moisture stress followed by
grain filling and tillering stages.
Continue
19
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Flowering stage is most critical stage for
moisture stress followed by grain filling and
tillering stages.

20
You are right. Pearl millet germination will be
poor under such cool temperatures.
Continue
21
No please. The correct answer is Pearl millet
germination will be poor under such cool
temperatures.
Continue
22
No please. The correct answer is Pearl millet
germination will be poor under such cool
temperatures.

23
You are right Maize requires more moisture
during reproductive period.
Continue
24
You are partly correct. The correct answer
is It is during reproductive period that soil
moisture is critical for maize crop, though
optimum soil moisture conditions help during
germination and tasseling periods.
Continue
25
You are partly correct. The correct answer
is It is during reproductive period that soil
moisture is critical for maize crop, though
optimum soil moisture conditions help during
germination and tasseling periods.
Continue
26
No please. Maize do not tiller. The correct
answer is It is during reproductive period that
soil moisture is critical for maize crop, though
optimum soil moisture conditions help during
germination and tasseling periods.
Continue
27
You are right Noon-temperatures of above 350C
for several days destroy pollen in maize crop.
Continue
28
No please. The correct answer is Noon-temperatu
res of above 350C for several days destroy pollen
in maize crop.
Continue
29
You are right Pigeonpea crop is sensitive to
water logging resulting from excess rains.
Continue
30
No please. Pigeonpea crop is relatively
resistant to drought and can grow under high
temperatures. Low relative humidity has no effect
on pigeonpea crop. The correct answer
is Pigeonpea crop is sensitive to water logging
resulting from excess rains.

31
You are right Chickpea is grown during winter
(rabi) season because it is photosensitive.
Continue
32
No please. The correct answer is Chickpea is
grown during winter (rabi) season because it is
photosensitive.

33
You are right Chickpea germination will be rapid
over a temperature range of 150 to 200C.
Continue
34
No please. Temperatures below 190C will markedly
reduce germination rate. The correct answer
is Chickpea germination will be rapid over a
temperature range of 150 to 200C.
Continue
35
No please. Temperatures below 190C will markedly
reduce germination rate. The correct answer
is Chickpea germination will be rapid over a
temperature range of 150 to 200C.
Continue
36
If you are not sure, here is the
answer Chickpea germination will be rapid over
a temperature range of 150 to 200C. Temperatures
below 190C will markedly reduce germination rate.

37
You are right Well-distributed 60 cm rainfall
will help in getting good groundnut yields.
Continue
38
No please. Groundnut yield could be moderate
with 40 cm rainfall. The correct answer
is Well-distributed 60 cm rainfall will help in
getting good groundnut yields.
Continue
39
You are right Pod formation stage is the most
vulnerable stage for moisture stress in groundnut
crop.
Continue
40
No please. The correct answer is Pod forming
stage is most critical stage followed by
flowering stage in groundnut crop.
Continue
41
No please. At harvesting stage some moisture
(not dry soil) will help easy harvesting without
loosing pods in the soil. The correct answer
is Pod forming stage is most critical stage
followed by flowering stage in groundnut crop.
Continue
42
You are right High relative humidity helps for
better flowering and increased peg setting.
Continue
43
No please. The correct answer is High relative
humidity helps for better flowering and increased
peg setting.
Continue
44
No please. The correct answer is High relative
humidity helps for better flowering and increased
peg setting.
Continue
45
If you are not sure, here is the answer High
relative humidity helps for better flowering and
increased peg setting.
Continue
46
You are right Rice crop requires hot and humid
climate.
Continue
47
No please. Rice crop requires hot and humid
climate.
Continue
48
If you are not sure, here is the answer Rice
crop requires hot and humid climate.

You are right Grain filling period is reduced in
rice crop with temperatures above 220C.
Continue
50
No please. The correct answer is Grain filling
period is reduced in rice crop with temperatures
above 220C.
Continue
51
No please. The correct answer is Grain filling
period is reduced in rice crop with temperatures
above 220C.
Continue
52
If you are not sure, here is the answer Grain
filling period is reduced in rice crop with
temperatures above 220C.
