Why is crop rotation considered beneficial for crop production?
To encourage the growth of specific crops only
To discourage soil fertility
To enhance soil fertility, reduce pests and diseases
Crop rotation has no impact on crop husbandry

What factors can influence crop yield in agriculture?
Ignoring environmental conditions
Crop yield is unaffected by external factors
Environmental conditions, soil fertility, pests
Factors influencing crop yield have no impact on harvesting

Why are post-harvest practices essential in agriculture?
To encourage crop spoilage
To minimise losses, maintain crop quality, and ensure longer shelf life
Post-harvest practices have no impact on crop rotation

How does crop rotation contribute to soil fertility?
By encouraging soil degradation
By reducing the availability of nutrients
By diversifying crops, optimising nutrient usage
Crop rotation has no impact on harvesting

What role do environmental conditions play in influencing crop yield?
Environmental conditions have no impact on crop yield
They are the sole determinant of crop yield
Proper environmental conditions
To discourage the consideration of environmental factors in crop production

How can pests and diseases affect crop yield?
They have no impact on crop yield
By promoting optimal crop growth
By reducing crop yield through damage and infections
To encourage the spread of pests and diseases
