Agriculture and agro-climatic zones MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Rajasthan is divided into 10 agro-climatic zones for agricultural planning. This division helps account for differences in rainfall, soil, temperature and cropping patterns across the state. The count of 8 is lower than the accepted classification used for Rajasthan's agricultural regions. The count of 12 overstates the standard state-level division. The count of 20 is much higher and does not match the commonly used agro-climatic zoning for Rajasthan in agriculture-related planning.

The incorrect statement is that Rajasthan is divided into 14 agro-climatic zones. Rajasthan is commonly classified into 10 agro-climatic zones for agricultural planning. Dry agriculture is associated with Western Rajasthan because rainfall is low and irrigation is limited. Shifting or jhum cultivation in Rajasthan is known as Walara, especially in tribal hilly areas. Humid agriculture fits the relatively wetter south-eastern part of the state. Thus the number 14 makes the agro-climatic-zone statement wrong.
