  • A. Siliviculture
  • B. Sericulture
  • C. Regeneration
  • D. Nursery

Explanation: Regeneration is the establishment of a new crop or stand, either naturally from existing seed and growth or artificially through human…

Correct answer: Regeneration
  • A. Sericulture
  • B. Agro forestry
  • C. range forestry
  • D. Forestry

Explanation: Forestry is the science and practice of establishing, managing, and raising trees and forest resources.

Correct answer: Forestry
  • A. Long day plants
  • B. Short day plants
  • C. Photoperiod
  • D. Phototropism

Explanation: Long-day plants begin flowering when day length exceeds a critical duration, or when the uninterrupted night becomes sufficiently short.

Correct answer: Long day plants
  • A. Fates
  • B. Starch
  • C. Cellulose
  • D. Protein

Explanation: Cotton fibre is a long, greatly elongated plant cell whose wall is composed mainly of cellulose.

Correct answer: Cellulose
  • A. None of the above
  • B. Phagocytosis
  • C. Imbibitions
  • D. Pinoeytosis

Explanation: Pinocytosis is the uptake of liquid or dissolved substances by forming tiny vesicles from the cell membrane, so it is often called cell…

Correct answer: Pinoeytosis
  • A. Albinism
  • B. Acrodsome
  • C. Agoun
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: Albinism in plants refers to the absence or severe deficiency of chlorophyll, producing pale or white tissues.

Correct answer: Albinism
  • A. All the above
  • B. Castor
  • C. Colocasia
  • D. Maize

Explanation: Maize, castor and Colocasia bear separate male and female flowers on the same plant, which makes each species monoecious.

Correct answer: All the above
  • A. Chloroplast
  • B. Chromoplast
  • C. Leucoplast
  • D. Chlorsis

Explanation: Chlorosis is the loss or reduction of green chlorophyll colour, causing leaves to appear pale yellow.

Correct answer: Chlorsis
  • A. Hydrogen
  • B. Carbon dioxide
  • C. Nitrogen
  • D. Oxygen

Explanation: During daylight, photosynthesis generally exceeds respiration in green plants, giving a net release of oxygen.

Correct answer: Oxygen
  • A. 800-1200 Kg
  • B. 1200 Kg
  • C. 500 Kg
  • D. 5000 Kg

Explanation: Potato seed tuber requirements commonly range from about 800 to 1,200 kg per hectare, depending on tuber size and planting distance.

Correct answer: 800-1200 Kg
  • A. Transportation
  • B. Fermentation
  • C. Sterilization
  • D. Ripening

Explanation: Fermentation is the anaerobic breakdown of organic substances when oxygen is absent, often producing alcohol or organic acids.

Correct answer: Fermentation
  • A. Leucoplast
  • B. Protoplast
  • C. Chromoplast
  • D. Chloroplast

Explanation: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and the enzymes of photosynthesis, with light reactions occurring in their thylakoid membranes and carbon…

Correct answer: Chloroplast
  • A. 25-35°C
  • B. 18-24°C
  • C. 20-25°C
  • D. 10-20°C

Explanation: Warm-season crops grow best under relatively high temperatures, commonly about 25–35°C.

Correct answer: 25-35°C
  • A. 0°C
  • B. -1°C
  • C. 1°C
  • D. 2°C

Explanation: Tender crops are injured by freezing conditions, so they generally cannot tolerate temperatures at or below 0°C.

Correct answer: 0°C
  • A. Absolute temperature
  • B. Various temperature
  • C. Cardinal temperature
  • D. All the above

Explanation: The minimum, optimum and maximum temperatures for a crop are its cardinal temperatures.

Correct answer: Cardinal temperature
  • A. Heat of vaporization
  • B. Heat energy
  • C. Heat of fusion
  • D. Mechanical heat

Explanation: Heat required to convert one kilogram of liquid into vapour at its boiling point is the latent heat of vaporization.

Correct answer: Heat of vaporization
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4

Explanation: In Pakistan, potato is commonly grown in three seasonal crops: autumn, spring and summer, with the summer crop mainly associated with…

Correct answer: 3
  • A. Senescence
  • B. Partial Senescence
  • C. Complete Senescence
  • D. All the above

Explanation: Complete senescence occurs when the whole plant body dies while the seeds remain viable for continuation of the species.

Correct answer: Complete Senescence
  • A. Fruit ripening
  • B. Maturity
  • C. Both a & b
  • D. Senescence

Explanation: Senescence is the genetically regulated aging process in which plant tissues deteriorate and eventually die.

Correct answer: Senescence
  • A. Hypocotyle
  • B. Micropyle
  • C. Epictyl
