With reference to Contour bunding, consider the following statements.
1) It is the practice of plowing or planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines.
2) Bunds area can be constructed along field boundaries without reference to contour.
3) The most suitable soil for building Contour bunds are deep black soils.
4) Coutour bunding is not practiced in Peninsular and Southern India owing to the hard terrain structure.
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Justification: Contour bunds can save soils from erosion to the extent of hundreds of tones/ hectares annually. It maintains soil fertility and increases water infiltration into the soil considerably,
Statement 1: It consists of building earthen embankments across the slope
of the land, following the contour as closely as possible. A series of such
bunds divide the area into strips and act as barriers to t5he flow of water,
thus reducing the amount and velocity of the runoff.

Terrace Farming offers which of the following advantage(s)?
1) Increased water run-off
2) Help retain soil moisture
3) Cut down soil erosion
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Terrace farming is done on the steep slopes so that flat surfaces are available to grow crops. They can reduce surface run-off and soil erosion.
Statement 2: The water break also allows more time for the water to settle into the soil.
Statement 3: It logically follows that as the velocity of water over the slopes is reduced, it lowers soil erosion

In India, the safety aspects of genetically modified crops are assessed by which of these bodies?
1. Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBSCs)
2. Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM)
3. Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC)
4. National Biopiracy authority (NBA)
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
GEAC is the apex body constituted in the
Ministry of Environment and Forests.
It was set up under ‘Rules for Manufacture, Use, Import, Export and Storage of Hazardous
Microorganisms/Genetically Engineered Organisms or Cells 1989’, under the Environment Protection Act, 1986.
The Rules of 1989 also define five competent authorities i.e. IBSC, RCGM, GEAC, State Biotechnology Coordination Committee (SBCC) and District Level Committee (DLC) for handling of various aspects of the rules.
Statement 1: Its main function is to note, examine and approve proposals involving r- DNA work; to ensure adherence of r-DNA Safety Guidelines- 1990 of Government and inspection of containment facilities at R&D and production units.
