10
Your answer is partly correct. Black soils
are vertisols and also fine textured soils
because of higher clay content in these soils.
The correct answer is Pearl millet can be
grown in any fertile and well drained soil.
11
Your answer is correct. Pearl millet can be
grown in any fertile and well drained soil.
12
Your are right. Pearl millet plants can
tolerate acid soils but do not grow well in
calcareous soils.
13
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Pearl millet plants can tolerate acid soils
but do not grow well in calcareous soils.
14
If you are not sure, the answer is Pearl
millet plants can tolerate acid soils but do not
grow well in calcareous soils.
15
Your are right. Soils infested earlier with
striga should be avoided for pearl millet
cultivation.
16
Your answer is not correct. Stem borer,
virus, and congress weeds are not serious
problems in pearl millet soils. The correct
answer is Soils infested earlier with striga
should be avoided for pearl millet cultivation.
17
Your are right. Pearl millet can withstand
drought but not low temperatures.
18
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Pearl millet can withstand drought but not
low temperatures.
19
If you are not sure, here is the answer. Pearl
millet can withstand drought but not low
temperatures.
20
Your are right. Pearl millet can withstand
high temperatures but not low temperatures at
germination stage.
21
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Pearl millet can withstand high
temperatures but not low temperatures at
germination stage.
22
If you are not sure, here is the answer. Pearl
millet can withstand high temperatures but not
low temperatures at germination stage. Low soil
temperatures affect germination and seedling
growth in pearl millet.
23
Your are right. The ability of pearl millet to
grow in drier environments is due to rapid and
deep root penetration.
24
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is The ability of pearl millet to grow in
drier environments is due to waxy coating on
leaves.
25
Your are right. Prolonged spell of rains may
result in pollen wash at flowering stage and thus
is not good for pearl millet crop.
26
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Prolonged spell of rains may result in
pollen wash at flowering stage and thus is not
good for pearl millet crop.
27
If you are not sure, here is the
answer. Prolonged spell of rains may result in
pollen wash at flowering stage and thus is not
good for pearl millet crop.
