✓
Answer
Crop protection is the science and practice of managing plant diseases, weeds and other pests (both vertebrate and invertebrate) that damage agricultural crops and forestry. Agricultural crops include field crops (maize, wheat, rice, etc), vegetable crops (potatoes, cabbages, etc) and fruits. The crops in field are exposed to many factor. The crop plants may be damaged by insects, birds, rodents, bacteria, etc.
The management of crop protection includes:
The management of crop protection includes:
- Pesticide-based approaches such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.
- Biological pest control approaches such as cover crops, trap crops and beetle banks.
- Barrier-based approaches such as agrotextiles and bird netting.
- Animal psychology-based approaches such as bird scarers.
- Biotechnology-based approaches such as plant breeding and genetic modification.

A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
- Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume?
- Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
- Having the same composition as that on the moon?
- Having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.
- What type of substance could X be? Name one substance like X.
- What type of substance could Y be? Name one substance like Y.
- What type of substance could Z be? Name one substance like Z.
- Whish process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substance X or formation of substance Z?
- Name the three groups into which all the substances like Y are divided on the basis of their properties.

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound P is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to P, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50g of reactant P was heated strongly, than 22g of a gas Q and 28g of a solid R were produced as products. Gas Q is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute HCl to P. Gas Q is said to cause global warming whereas solid R is used for white-washing.
- What is (i) solid P (ii) gas Q, and (iii) solid R.
- What is the total mass of Q and R obtained from 50g of P?
- How does the total mass of Q and R formed compare with the mass of P taken?
- What conclusion do you get from the comparison of masses of products and reactant?
- Which law of chemical combination is illustrated by the example given in this problem?
