- Q1
What is vertical integration?
Increased specialization and mechanization.
A single person/business owns multiple steps in the production system.
Farmers grow multiple crops with different growing cycles.
30s - Q2
What is industrialization?
Farmers grow multiple crops with different growing cycles.
A single person/business owns multiple steps in the production system.
Increased specialization and mechanization.
30s - Q3
What is diversified crop production?
Increased specialization and mechanization.
A single person/business owns multiple steps in the production system.
Farmers grow multiple crops with different growing cycles.
30s - Q4
The type of farming that allows crops to be moved from year to year to prevent growing the same crop on the same plot of land multiple years in a row is called:
relay intercropping
mixed intercropping
soil tillage
crop rotation
30s - Q5
Why is crop rotation done?
plants of the same type take the same nutrients away from soil over time
crop rotation saves water
farmers get tired of growing the same thing
crop rotation is cheaper than other farming methods
30s - Q6
The type of farming that allows two or more crops to be grown at the same time in the same soil space is called:
crop rotation
high tunnels
soil tillage
intercropping
30s - Q7
What is Row Intercropping?
Planting the second crop in as the first crop is maturing, but is not yet harvested
Growing two or more crops in a section of fields large enough to allow for production machines to enter and small enough to ensure crop interaction
Growing the crops with no defined rows
Growing two or more crops at once in the same row
30s - Q8
What is Mixed Intercropping?
Growing two or more crops in a section of fields large enough to allow for production machines to enter and small enough to ensure crop interaction
Planting the second crop in as the first crop is maturing, but is not yet harvested
Growing two or more crops at once in the same row
Growing the crops with no defined rows
30s - Q9
What is Strip Intercropping?
Growing two or more crops at once in the same row
Growing two or more crops in a section of fields large enough to allow for production machines to enter and small enough to ensure crop interaction
Planting the second crop in as the first crop is maturing, but is not yet harvested
Growing the crops with no defined rows
30s - Q10
Which of the following is an advantage of intercropping?
decreased crop diversity
increased fertilizer use
attraction of beneficial organisms
decreased yields
30s - Q11
The type of farming where the land is no longer tilled and crop residue is left standing in the field is called:
soil tillage
intercropping
no till farming
crop rotation
30s - Q12
A specific type of no till farming where at least 30% of the soil surface is still covered after planting is called:
crop rotation
intercropping
soil tillage
conservation tillage
30s - Q13
A way to design agricultural systems that mimics relationships found in natural ecosystems is called:
crop rotation
permaculture
no till farming
intercropping
30s - Q14
Which of the following is not a principle of permaculture?
Use and value diversity
Catch and store energy
Produce no waste
Eliminate all insects
30s - Q15
Simple plastic-covered steel structures that save heat from the sun are called:
high tunnels
row covers
greenhouses
