13
Your are right. Pearl millet is sensitive to
water logging conditions.
14
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Pearl millet is sensitive to water logging
conditions.
15
Your are right. Continuous drizzling rains
during flowering stage of pearl millet favors
ergot infestation.
Back
16
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Continuous drizzling rains during flowering
stage of pearl millet favors ergot infestation.

17
Your are right. Spraying 2 Urea solution at
the time of moisture stress helps pearl millet
plants to cope with the moisture stress.
Back
18
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Spraying 2 Urea solution at the time of
moisture stress helps pearl millet plants to cope
with the moisture stress.

Your are right. Pre-planting irrigation helps
to get higher seedling vigor and early plant
growth.

If you are not sure, here is the
answer. Drooping and withering leaves indicate
the need for irrigating pearl millet crop.

22
You are right Mid-season drought affecting
the pearl millet crop can be corrected by
thinning the plants to retain 60 of the plant
stand.
Back
23
Your answer is not correct. Application of
zinc can help in case of zinc deficiency.
Ratooning capacity of pearl millet can be taken
advantage if the main crop fails due to
drought. The correct answer is Mid-season
drought affecting the pearl millet crop can be
corrected by thinning the plants to retain 60 of
the plant stand.

You are right Drooping and withering leaves
indicate the need for irrigating pearl millet
crop.

26
Your answer is not correct. The correct answer
is Drooping and withering leaves indicate the
need for irrigating pearl millet crop.

27
You are right Adopting intercropping with
crops like cowpea may provide overall better
income from the system if drought occurs during
pearl millet growing season.
Back
28
Your answer is not correct. Shallow ploughing
will not help to conserve moisture. Maize is not
a better choice for drought conditions. Growing
suitable pearl millet hybrid will still be better
than local variety under drought situation. The
correct answer is Adopting intercropping with
crops like cowpea may provide overall better
income from the system if drought occurs during
pearl millet growing season.
