natali2007 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It is crucially important to farmers that the herbicides they use to control weeds not damage their crops. One very effective herbicide is safe for corn, but soybeans are damaged even by the herbicide’s residue, which remains in the soil more than a year after the herbicide is applied. Soybeans and corn are not sown together in the same riled;nevertheless, most farmers are reluctant to use the herbicide on their corn. Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the farmers’ reluctance? 1) The residue of the herbicide in the soil a year after application is not enough to control most weeds effectively. 2) To maint ain the nutrients in the soil, corn and soybeans are often planted in A riled in alternate years. 3) The demand for soybeans is growing faster than is the demand for corn. 4) For maximum yield, soybean plants are grown closer together to each other than are corn plants. 5) The application of herbicides is less critical for soybean than for corn crops.

diya123 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Is it B??? The farmers may be reluctant to use the herbicide as it prevents the possibilty of growing soybean the next year.. But if planting soybean alternately with corn is good for the soil, the farmer may not want to spoil that advantage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmatgoal Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 IMO=B The herbicide’s residue will negatively affect the corn crop when corn is grown after soyabean is harvested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhanukagritech Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I always had much interest in the agriculture of our country. While reading several articles and information, I came across many articles on herbicides. We all are very much aware of the use of herbicides in healthy production of our crops. Weed management is essential for dealing with unwanted growth in plants. I came across the wonderful products of Dhanuka Agritech Ltd, which had such great reviews from umpteen users and clients.
