What is the primary challenge in using GIS for agricultural land use planning in India?

  1. Lack of data

  2. Lack of trained personnel

  3. Lack of infrastructure

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lack of data, trained personnel, and infrastructure are all challenges that can hinder the use of GIS for agricultural land use planning in India.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of remote sensing data used for soil moisture monitoring?

  1. Optical imagery

  2. Radar imagery

  3. Thermal imagery

  4. Microwave imagery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Optical imagery is primarily used for land cover classification and vegetation monitoring, rather than soil moisture monitoring.

What is the primary advantage of using satellite-based crop monitoring systems?

  1. Wide area coverage

  2. Repetitive data collection

  3. Ability to monitor crop conditions in real-time

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Satellite-based crop monitoring systems offer several advantages, including wide area coverage, repetitive data collection, and the ability to monitor crop conditions in real-time.

Which of the following is NOT a common application of GIS in agricultural land use management in India?

  1. Land use planning

  2. Crop yield estimation

  3. Soil moisture monitoring

  4. Pest and disease management


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pest and disease management is typically not considered an application of GIS in agricultural land use management in India.
