Question

Crop logging is a method of -

• A. Soil fertility evaluation
• B. Plant analysis for assessing the requirement of nutrients for crop production
• C. Assessing crop damage
• D. Testing suitability of fertilizers

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Plant analysis for assessing the requirement of nutrients for crop production

The correct option is B.

Explanation of correct option:

1. Crop logging refers to the system of monitoring the progress of the crop by a series of physical and chemical measurements.
2. It basically analyzes the nutritional status of a plant.

Explanation of incorrect options:

Option A:

1. Soil fertility evaluation is generally the process of evaluating the amount of native and residual nutrient elements which are essential for growing crops in a particular soil.
2. It is the potential of the earth or inherent capacity of the soil to supply plant nutrients in quality forms and proportions required for the growth and development of the crop.

Option C:

1. Assessing crop damage is nothing but the difference between the yield from the healthy crop and the diseased crop.
2. It is typically represented in percentages mostly in terms of money.

Option D:

1. By testing the suitability of fertilizers we can assess the primary nutrient as well as the harmful component of fertilizers.
2. Generally, the qualities that are measured are free-flowing, consistent in particle size, quick dissolve, easy spread, etc.
3. The recommendation is done on the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents of the soil.

Final answer: Crop logging is a method of plant analysis for assessing the requirement of nutrients for crop production.
