| What is the current status of horticulture in India? | no longer a leisurely avocation and is fast assuming position of a vibrant commercial venture | While the impact of green revolution in India was felt mainly in assured irrigation areas, horticultural crop production has brought prosperity even in arid and semi arid areas. Horticulture is no longer a leisurely avocation and is fast assuming position of a vibrant commercial venture. Nature has placed India in a state of advantage and it is now on us horticulturists to work towards ushering in a GOLDEN REVOLUTION in years to come in India. | 194 | definition | 1.000 | Horticulture is no longer a leisurely avocation and is fast assuming position of a vibrant commercial venture. | 23 | page=23,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is the relationship between grapevine bud fruitfulness and day length? | not classified as a long day plant, for floral induction, its bud fruitfulness is generally higher under long days than short days | Light is also an important factor in determining the fruitfulness of buds in grapevine. Though grapevine is not classified as a long day plant, for floral induction, its bud fruitfulness is generally higher under long days than short days. Importance of light over temperature in the fruitfulness of the buds can be explained by shading of grapevines under field conditions, reducing the light interception in the vine canopy without reducing the temperature. | 108 | definition | 1.000 | Though grapevine is not classified as a long day plant, for floral induction, its bud fruitfulness is generally higher under long days than short days. | 34 | page=34,block=14 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is the purpose of fruit extract in ayurvedic and homeopathic preparations? | used in a number of ayurvedic and homeopathic preparations to prevent greying and falling of hairs | It is used to treat bronchitis, jaundice, diarrhoea and fever. The fruit extract is used in a number of ayurvedic and homeopathic preparations to prevent greying and falling of hairs. I. | 84 | definition | 1.000 | The fruit extract is used in a number of ayurvedic and homeopathic preparations to prevent greying and falling of hairs. | 62 | page=62,block=4 | 0.850 | valid |
| What term refers to the process of irrigating and applying fertilizers simultaneously? | a coined term which means to irrigate and give fertilizers along with it | Once investment on drip irrigation is made, it is very easy to achieve the full benefits through the next ultimate step called as ‘Fertigation’. Fertigation is a coined term which means to irrigate and give fertilizers along with it. In other words, fertigation is addition of fertilizers to irrigation water and application via drip or similar micro irrigation system. | 160 | definition | 1.000 | Fertigation is a coined term which means to irrigate and give fertilizers along with it. | 97 | page=97,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |
| What does chlorine do as an oxidizing agent? | an oxidizing agent, which kills bacteria, algae and other organic matter | b. Chlorination Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, which kills bacteria, algae and other organic matter. The most common chlorine compounds are sodium hypo chlorite (liquid) and Calcium hypo chlorite (solid). | 28 | definition | 1.000 | Chlorination Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, which kills bacteria, algae and other organic matter. | 100 | page=100,block=20 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is the current state of fruit production in relation to the prescribed per capita? | not sufficient, to the prescribed per capita, though there is tremendous scope in extending the area of irrigation for fruit crops | In India, the area of irrigation of fruit crops is only about 30% and the average productivity is very low. The fruit production currently is not sufficient, to the prescribed per capita, though there is tremendous scope in extending the area of irrigation for fruit crops. Fertigation is a sophisticated and efficient method of applying fertilizers, in which the irrigation system is used as the carrier and distributor of the crop nutrients. | 142 | definition | 1.000 | The fruit production currently is not sufficient, to the prescribed per capita, though there is tremendous scope in extending the area of irrigation for fruit crops. | 101 | page=101,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is the basis of leaf analysis in relation to plant behavior? | based on the premise that plant behavior is related to the concentrations of essential minerals in leaf tissue | Physiological basis of leaf sampling at bud initiation and differentiation stage seems to hold the key to meaningful relationship of plant nutrient status with potential yield according to “Physiological stage concept”. Leaf Analysis Leaf Analysis is based on the premise that plant behavior is related to the concentrations of essential minerals in leaf tissue. Leaf analysis as a method for assessing the nutrient requirements of a given crop is based on the assumption that, within certain limits, there is a positive relation between dose of the nutrient supplied, leaf content and yield .The leaf analysis can be useful in one of the following ways 1. | 251 | definition | 1.000 | Leaf Analysis Leaf Analysis is based on the premise that plant behavior is related to the concentrations of essential minerals in leaf tissue. | 102 | page=102,block=4 | 0.850 | valid |
| What benefits are associated with Azospirillum inoculation in crops? | considered to be more efficient and it has been reported that Azospirillum inoculation increases the growth, nitrogen uptake and yield in number of crops | horticultural crops met partly from the activities of associative symbiotic bacteria – Azospirillum. Azospirillum is considered to be more efficient and it has been reported that Azospirillum inoculation increases the growth, nitrogen uptake and yield in number of crops. Field trials conducted at many places with different crops have revealed the significant amount of nitrogen fixation and there by saving the valuable N fertilizers. | 117 | definition | 1.000 | Azospirillum is considered to be more efficient and it has been reported that Azospirillum inoculation increases the growth, nitrogen uptake and yield in number of crops. | 116 | page=116,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |
| What does the term biological control refer to? | the use of living organisms to control the population of a pest | Two examples are apple trees in good vigour actually smothering with sap or casting out invading flathead apple tree borers and plants not suffering drought stress being much less attractive to grasshoppers. Biological control Biological control refers to the use of living organisms to control the population of a pest. Examples of beneficial arthropods that have been used to control pests in fruit crops include the predatory mites Phytoseiulus persimilis and Metaseiulus occidentalis, which attack spider mites; lady bird beetles and green lacewings which feed on aphids and Trichogramma wasps, which parasitize the eggs of several pests including codling moth. | 256 | definition | 1.000 | Biological control Biological control refers to the use of living organisms to control the population of a pest. | 123 | page=123,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is the term for a seed bed where initial weed flushes are destroyed before planting? | one where initial 1-2 flushes of the weeds are destroyed before planting of a crop | A stale seed bed is one where initial 1-2 flushes of the weeds are destroyed before planting of a crop. This is achieved by soaking a well prepared field with either irrigation or rain and allowing the weeds to germinate. | 20 | definition | 1.000 | A stale seed bed is one where initial 1-2 flushes of the weeds are destroyed before planting of a crop. | 139 | page=139,block=9 | 0.850 | valid |
