Solution

The correct options are
A

To control the growth of weeds


B

To limit irrigation


In precision farming, the soil is covered with polythene sheets to control the growth of weeds and loss of water from the soil. When the loss of water is reduced less water is required to irrigate the land. This helps in water conservation and efficient growth of plants.
