Question

Match List-I with List-II. 

List-I (Event)	List-II (Observation)
(A) Harvest Planning	(I) Determining field boundaries and property lines accurately
(B) Soil Sampling	(II) Collecting soil samples at precise locations for analysis and management decisions
(C) Boundary Mapping	(III) Planning optimal routes for harvesting equipment to maximize efficiency
(D) Pest Management	(IV) Tracking pest populations and movements to inform control strategies

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
• C. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Hint:

Boundary mapping is always tied to legal/property lines and field edges (C $\rightarrow$ I), which helps simplify the matching process.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Precision agriculture relies on spatial tools and systematic workflows to optimize inputs, map fields, and schedule operations.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us analyze each event and its matching operational observation:
- (A) Harvest Planning matches with (III) Planning optimal routes...: Route planning for heavy machinery reduces fuel consumption, soil compaction, and harvest duration.
- (B) Soil Sampling matches with (II) Collecting soil samples...: Grid or zone-based physical soil collection guides precise fertilizer recommendations.
- (C) Boundary Mapping matches with (I) Determining field boundaries...: Uses GPS and GIS to define geographic limits of management zones.
- (D) Pest Management matches with (IV) Tracking pest populations...: Spatial scouting of pest distributions avoids blanket chemical applications.
This gives the combination: (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The matching corresponds to Option (B).
