Q.A group of fruits which show neither a rise in respiration rate nor an associated production of ethylene during the ripening process is called ……….

• Parthenocarpic
• Climacteric
• Non-climacteric
• Parthenogenetic

Ans
Non-climacteric

• Maturity
• Ripening

Climacteric
Detail
Climacteric fruits are those fruits which are associated with increased ethylene production and high cellular respiration during ripening such as apple, banana, mango, melon, and apricot.

Q. An example of slow release fertilizer is

• Coated urea
• CAN
• DAP
• KCl

Ans
Coated urea
Dateil
Coated urea fertilizers are a group of controlled release fertilizers consisting of prills of urea coated in less-soluble chemicals such as sulfur, polymers, other products or a combination. These fertilizers mitigate some of the negative aspects of urea fertilization, such as fertilizer burn.

Q. Application of which chemical acts as an aid for mechanical harvesting ?

• GA3
• IAA
• Kinetin
• ABA

Ans
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Detail
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone. ABA functions in many plant developmental processes, including seed and bud dormancy, the control of organ size and stomatal closure.

Q. AVG is an inhibitor of

• Ethylene
• Cytokinin
• Gibberellin
• Auxin

Ans
Ethylene
Detail
AVG is an inhibitor of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase, a key enzyme involved in ethylene biosynthesis. Silver and 1-MCP are both inhibitors of the ethylene receptors. Inhibitor use as well as off-target effects are described with a focus on ethylene responses in dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings.

Q. Bordeaux mixture was discovered by P.A. Millardet of France in 1882 following his chance observation of a farmer’s practice for protection against

• Plasmopara viticola on grapevine
• Podoshora leuchtricha on apple
