2. Seeds

6. • A seed variety could have been developed by a
breeder, but derived from a traditional variety.
• Seeds Bill 2019
• 130 seed testing and certification centres in the
country, all these labs needed to be linked.
• Process traceability focuses on documentation
and auditing of the process by which the seed or
commodity is pro- duced, often involving a third-
party agency, as for certified seed.
Origin traceability is more concerned with where
a product came from and the handling steps
involved in get- ting it to market.

7. • With spurious and low quality seeds swarming
the markets causing extensive damage to
farmers’ incomes, the Centre has decided to
bring in a mechanism to ensure traceability of
seeds.
• The menace of HT cotton (herbicide-tolerant),
which accounted for about 10 per cent of the
cotton area in the country. “Though the area
under these illegal seeds has not grown beyond
10 per cent, it has become a problem for
organised players. We are facing allegations due
to contamination of the seed

9. The colour separator is used to separate discoloured seed, greatly of lower
quality. Separation based on colour is necessary because the density and dimensions of
discoloured seed are the same as those of sound seed, so other machines are not
effective for separation
Seeds (sunflower, kuttu, etc.) color sorter according to the color difference of the
customer requirements of product yield, defect impurity and screening, the inferior is
eliminated and impurities and other foreign bodies, intelligent mode of production, fast
separation speed and perfect separation efficiency is satisfied with your choice.
Treatment phytotoxicity that include spatial separation of the pesticide from the seed.

10. Cropping

11. 1) what is the basis for
deciding crop area in each
crop.
2)will the production from
that decided area balance
demand and supply
3) Any incentives by govt for
non paddy crops.
4) How malnutrition, cause for
low immunity, can be
overcome , with proper
selection of nutricereals.
5) Nuitrition, processing, value
addition should be factors for
30% of produce for improving
remunerative prices for
Farmers, and for raising health
and immunity in people,

12. The proportion of area under various crops at a point of
time. In other words, it is a yearly sequence and spatial
arrangement of sowing and fallow on a given area.
Temporal aspects of managing an agricultural system.

13. • The cropping pattern is determined by rainfall,
climate, temperature, soil type and technology.
nature and availability of irrigation facilities.
• Anticipated Demand, Market driven based on price,
imports and exports, interregional challenges,
Government policies (open system)
• There are three distinct crop seasons in India,
namely Kharif, Rabi and Zaid.

14. • Monocropping
• Mixed Cropping
• Intercropping
• Mixed farming

15. • Monoculture, crop rotation, fallow in rotation, multiple cropping,
mixed cropping, intercropping are the different cropping systems, which
help in maintaining soil conditions and controlling pests and diseases
on crop plants.

16. There has been a change in the
consumption pattern and people
have moved from coarse cereals to
wheat and rice for their main
dietary grain. This is because of
the increase in the income of the
people and coarse cereals being
the inferior goods.
In 1960s to 1980s, it was to
maximize food production. In
1980s to 1990s, it was to go for a
demand driven production
pattern. Since 1990s, it was to
reduce inputs of agricultural
commodities.
