What is the primary function of a tractor in agricultural operations?

  1. Tilling the soil

  2. Planting seeds

  3. Harvesting crops

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tractors are versatile machines used for a wide range of agricultural tasks, including tilling the soil, planting seeds, harvesting crops, and transporting materials.

Which type of tillage implement is commonly used to break up and loosen the soil before planting?

  1. Moldboard plow

  2. Disk harrow

  3. Chisel plow

  4. Rotary tiller


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Moldboard plows are primary tillage implements that use a curved blade to invert and loosen the soil, creating a seedbed for planting.

What is the purpose of a combine harvester in agricultural operations?

  1. Cutting and gathering crops

  2. Threshing and separating grains

  3. Cleaning and grading grains

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Combine harvesters are self-propelled machines that perform multiple operations simultaneously, including cutting and gathering crops, threshing and separating grains, and cleaning and grading grains.

Which of the following is a key design consideration for irrigation systems in agriculture?

  1. Uniformity of water distribution

  2. Minimizing water losses

  3. Energy efficiency

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Irrigation systems in agriculture must ensure uniform water distribution to crops, minimize water losses due to evaporation or runoff, and operate efficiently to conserve energy.
