II.plants can absorb nutrients mostly in dissolved forms
III.It protects crops from frost.
IV.it improves soil texture.
Which one is the answer.
A. I and II only
B. I,II, and IV
C. I,II,III and IV only
D.II and III only

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. I, II, III and IV only.

All four statements are true regarding the benefits of irrigation in crop production:

I. Seeds need moisture to germinate - Irrigation provides the necessary moisture for seed germination. II. Plants can absorb nutrients mostly in dissolved forms - Irrigation helps dissolve nutrients in the soil so that they can be absorbed by plants. III. It protects crops from frost - Irrigation can help create a humid microclimate that may protect against frost damage. IV. It improves soil texture - Proper irrigation practices can enhance soil structure and texture, making it more conducive to crop growth.

Therefore, all four points are valid contributions of irrigation in crop production.
