Soil texture is a classification instrument used both in the field and
laboratory to determine soil classes based on their physical texture.
(2aii)
Soil structure describes the arrangement of the solid parts of the
soil and of the pore space located between them.
(2aiii)
soil profile is a vertical section of soil like the diagram above. It
allows you to examine the structure of soil. A soil profile is divided
into layers called horizons
(2bi)
(i)Grafting is the fastest way of growing popular, desirable varieties
of fruiting trees & flowering shrubs on a large scale. (ii)Buy fruiting
tree seeds online. Many commercially valuable plants are difficult to
grow by other propagation methods like cutting & layering, but they
respond well to grafting.
(iii)Scions are highly precious varieties, but the usually have poor
rooting system, less vigor & weak defence against pathogens.
(2bii)
(i)Mango
(ii)Guava
(2c)
(i)water
(ii)crop selection
(iii)temperature
(2d)
(i)Storage in airtight bins helps maintaining insect free grains.
(ii)Before storing grains the go downs (store houses) should be
disinfected. Following methods of disinfestations of store rooms are
recommended
(iii)Threshing yard should be situated more than a mile away from
the granaries so as to reduce the chance of pest reaching to
granaries through migration.
(iv)For bag storage of grains “pucca” cement concrete or brick
made store houses are recommended.

(3bi)
Surface irrigation is where water is applied and distributed over the
soil surface by gravity.
(3bii)
Surface drainage refers to the removal of surface water by
development of the slope of the land utilizing systems of drains to
carry away the surplus water.
