Question

Standing crop can be represented as:-

• A. Number
• B. Fresh weight
• C. Dry weight
• D. Both (1) and (3) above

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (1) and (3) above

Standing crop is the amount of crop or biomass present in a particular area in a particular time. It can be calculated through the number per unit area or through dry as well as fresh biomass, but measurement through dry biomass gives more accurate measurement than fresh weight because of the presence of moisture and water in it.

So, the correct option is 'Both Number and Dry weight''.
