and fermentation
Q. 18 Puffing: - Puffed grains are often used as CBSE Study Material Unit III 106 3
breakfast cereals or as snack food. During
puffing, grains are exposed to a very high
steam pressure which causes the grain to
burst open. The puffed grains can be
further processed by toasting, coating or
mixing with other ingredients.
Flaking: - Flaked cereals are partially
cooked and can be used as quick-cooking or
ready to eat foods. The grains are softened
by partially cooking in steam. They are then
pressed or rolled into flakes which are
dried. The flakes are eaten crisp and should
have a moisture content of below 7%.

3. Depending on the severity of deficiency,
the chlorosis could result in the death
and/or dropping of the older leaves.
4. Plants more susceptible to weather stress
and disease.
5. N deficiency causes early maturity in
some crops, which results in a
significant reduction in yield and quality.
Answer any 3 out of the given 5 questions in 50– 80 words each (4 x 3 = 12 marks)
Q. 20 Importance of Soil Organic Carbon: -While CBSE Study Material Unit I 26, 27, 4
the agricultural sector has the ability to 28
impact the carbon cycle on a large scale,
often through the release of carbon,
farmers have a vested interest in retaining
and increasing soil organic carbon for
individual fields because soil and yield tend
to improve when the soil organic carbon
level increases. Higher soil organic carbon
promotes soil structure or tilth meaning
there is greater physical stability. This
improves soil aeration (oxygen in the soil)
and water drainage and retention, and
reduces the risk of erosion and nutrient
leaching. Soil organic carbon is also
important to chemical composition and
biological productivity, including fertility
and nutrient holding capacity of a field. As
carbon stores in the soil increase, carbon is

5

Page 7

―sequestered, and the risk of loss of other
nutrients through erosion and leaching is
reduced. An increase in soil organic carbon
typically results in a more stable carbon
cycle and enhanced overall agricultural
productivity, while physical disturbances of
the soil can lead to a net loss of carbon into
the surrounding environment due to
formation of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Management practices that can
increase soil organic carbon

Management Functions and
practices explanation

Conservation tillage
practices including
Conservation no-till management
tillage practices aid
in storing soil
organic carbon,
keeping the physical
stability of the soil
intact.
When reduced-till
systems are
combined with
residue management
and manure
management, soil
organic
carbon can increase
over time.

Returning crop
residue to the soil
Crop residue adds carbon and
management helps to
maintain soil
organic matter.

Cover crops can
increase soil carbon
pools by adding both
Cover crops root
and above ground
biomass. Covers also
reduce the risk of soil
erosion and the
resulting loss of

6

Page 8

carbon with soil
particles.
Cover crops also
enhance nutrient
cycling and increase
soil
health over time.

Adding organic
amendments such as
Manure and manure or compost
compost can
directly increase soil
carbon, and also
result in increased
soil
aggregate stability.
This enhances the
biological buffering
capacity of the soil,
resulting in greater
yields and yield
stability over time.
Crop selection

Perennial crops
eliminate the need for
yearly planting and
increase soil organic
carbon by root and
litter decomposition
post-harvest. Crops
with greater root
massin general add to
root decomposition
and physically bond
aggregates together.
Using high residue
annual crops can also
help reduce net
carbon loss from
cropping systems.

Q. 21 The Government of India is promoting organic CBSE Study Material Unit II 80, 81 4
farming through various schemes like
National Project on Organic Farming: - Under
National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF)

biofertilizers.
The financial assistance is provided on the
basis of project proposals received from States
including Maharashtra. Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) under Network
Project on Organic Farming, with lead center
at Project Directorate for Farming Systems
Research Modipuram is developing package of
practices of different crops and cropping
system under organic farming in different
agro-ecological regions of the country.
Q. 22 Post-Harvest Factors CBSE Study Material Unit III 100, 101 4
Water relations: The termination of life of the
harvested flowers depends on water uptake
and transport, water loss and the capacity of
the flower tissue to retain its water. A water
deficit and wilting develop, when the
transpiration exceeds absorption of water.
The rate of water uptake of cut flowers
depends on transpiration pull, temperature
and composition of solutes. Disruption of
water columns in stem vessels by air
embolism and resistance to water flow in
stems, also develop water deficit.
Acidification of water and addition of wetting
agent and flower food in the holding solution
markedly improve water uptake of cut
flowers.
Respiration: The rate of respiration depends
on quantity of carbohydrates available in the
harvested flowers, temperature and the use of
certain chemicals to regulate it. With higher
temperature, there is faster rate of respiration
and burning of the tissue. Consequently, the
life of flowers is shortened.
Relative humidity: It has, bearing on the
transpiration rate. Higher the humidity in the
air, less is the transpiration rate and vice-versa.
Growth regulators: Postharvest life of flowers
can be controlled by growth regulators. Water
relation changes associated with flower
senescence are also influenced by growth
regulators. Cytokinins delay senescence of
some cut flowers. Depending upon the
concentrations, GA in some cases promotes
longevity of flowers, while this is also used in

9

Page 11

bud opening solution. The IAA promotes
ethylene production of isolated carnation
petals. In contrast, the senescence and
abscission of poinsettia flowers is delayed by
auxin.

Preservative solution: Preservatives in the
form of tablets or powder are prepared from a
mixture of chemicals-sugars, germicides, salts
and growth regulators. Various types of
conditioners are sugar and biocide,
antiethylene compound, and hydrated
compound. The flowers like gladiolus,
carnation, chrysanthemum and freesia are
benefited most by the pretreatment.
Anti-ethylene compounds in preservative
solutions reduce the action of ambient
ethylene as well as autocatalytic production of
ethylene by fresh cut flowers. Fresh cut
flowers responding to silver thio sulphate are
carnation, orchids, gypsophila, gladiolus,
gerbera, snapdragon, alstromaeria,
agapanthus, anemone and sweet pea.
Greatest improvement in cut flower quality
and longevity is obtained when DICA or DDMH
were combined with sucrose.
Pre-cooling and storage: Precooling is
essential for removing field heat from flowers.
This is done either by forced air cooling or
hydrocooling to bring down temperature from
200-300C to 10C in a relatively short period.
Other methods are room cooling and vacuum
cooling. Flowers can be stored for a longer
period at low temperature. There are two
methods of cold storage-wet and dry. Wet
method is short-term storage, in which cut
stems are dipped in water. Dry storage is more
labour-intensive method and costly. The
controlled atmosphere based on reduction of
respiration rates, conservation of respirable
substrates during, storage, and delay in
ethylene-triggered changes cause senescence.
It involves the use of increased level of CO2 and
decreased levels of O2 in the atmosphere, low
storage temperature and prevention of the
build-up of endogenous ethylene.
Packing and transporting: Lower rate of
transpiration, respiration and cell division
during transportation, are essential for long

10

Page 12

storage life and keeping quality. Before
packing, flowers should be dried. They should
be treated with systemic insecticides and
miticides. Packing must ensure protection of
flowers against physical damage, water loss
and external conditions detrimental to
transported flowers. Boxes made of
corrugated fibre boards are good. Flowers
sensitive to geotropic bending must be
transported in an upright position. The flowers
should be transported at an optimal low
temperature. The relative humidity of the air
during precooling and shipment of cut flowers
should be maintained at the level of 95-98%.
Lack of light during prolonged transportation
particularly at high temperature causes
yellowing of leaves in many flowers. Shipment
of flowers is usually done by road, air and sea.
For short distance and time period shorter
than 20 hr, cut flowers may be transported in
insulated trucks without refrigeration after
precooling and proper packing. Air shipment is
quickest and usually the temperature is not
controlled during the flight the flowers should
be pulsed with STS prior to air shipment.
Q. 23 Principles of Landscape Gardening CBSE Study Material Unit V 185, 186 4

A. Balance: -Balance is a psychological sense of
equilibrium. As a design principle,
balanceplaces the parts of a visual in an
aesthetically pleasing arrangement. In visual
images, balance is formal when both sides are
symmetrical in terms of arrangement. Balance
is informal when sides are not exactly
symmetrical, but the resulting image is still
balanced. Informal balance is more dynamic
than formal balance and normally keeps the
learner's attention focused on the visual
message. There are three main types of
balance, horizontal balance, vertical balance,
radial balance.

B. Proportion: -Proportion refers to the
relative size and scale of the various elements
in a design. The issue is the relationship
between objects, or parts, of a whole. This
means that it is necessary to discuss
proportion in terms of the context or standard
used to determine proportions.

11

Page 13

C. Perspective: -Perspective is created through
the arrangement of objects in two-
dimensional space to look like they appear in
real life. Perspective is a learned meaning of
the relationship between different objects
seen in space.

Is the dark rectangle in front of a circle, or
beside a semi-circle? Perspective adds realism
to a visual image. The size of a rectangle means
little until another object gives it the size of a
desk, or the size of a building. Perspective can
be used to draw the audience into a visual.
Perception can be achieved through the use of
relative sizes of objects, overlapping objects,
and blurring or sharpening objects.

D. Emphasis: -Emphasis is used by artists to
create dominance and focus in their work.
Artistscan emphasize color, value, shapes, or
other art elements to achieve dominance.
Various kinds of contrast can be used to
emphasize a center of interest.

E. Movement: -The way the artist leads the eye
in, around, and through a composition. The
path the eye follows. Motion or movement in
a visual image occurs when objects seem to be
moving in a visual image. Movement in a visual
image comes from the kinds of shapes, forms,
lines, and curves that are used.

F. Pattern: -Pattern uses the art elements in
planned or random repetition to enhance
surfaces or paintings or sculptures. Patterns
often occur in nature, and artists use similar
repeated motifs to create pattern in their
work. Pattern increases visual excitement by
enriching surface interest.

G. Repetition: -Repetition works with pattern
to make the artwork seem active. The
repetition of elements of design creates unity
within the artwork.

H. Rhythm: -Rhythm is the repetition of visual
movement of the elements-colors, shapes,
lines, values, forms, spaces, and textures.
Variety is essential to keep rhythms exciting
and active, and to avoid monotony. Movement
and rhythm work together to create the visual
equivalent of a musical beat.

12

Page 14

I. Variety: -Variety provides contrast to
harmony and unity. Variety consists of the
differences in objects that add interest to a
visual image. Variety can be achieved by using
opposites or strong contrasts. Changing the
size, point of view, and angle of a single object
can add variety and interest to a visual image.

J. Harmony: -Harmony in visual design means
all parts of the visual image relate to and
complement each other. Harmony pulls the
pieces of a visual image together. Harmony can
be achieved through repetition and rhythm.
Repetition reemphasizes visual units,
connecting parts and creating an area of
attention. Rhythm is the flow depicted in a
visual. Rhythm helps direct eye movement.

Patterns or shapes can help achieve harmony.
By repeating patterns in an interesting
arrangement, the overall visual image comes
together.

K. Unity: -Unity means the harmony of the
whole composition. The parts of a composition
made to work together as a total visual theme.
Unity is the relationship among the elements
of a visual that helps all the elements function
together. Unity gives a sense of oneness to a
visual image. In other words, the words and
the images work together to create meaning.

L. Contrast: -Contrast is in opposition to
harmony and should not be overdone.
Occasional contrasts are used to create an eye-
catching feature in a garden; for example,
contrasting foliage texture, colour or form
provides a focal point in the garden.

Q. 24 Components of Jam CBSE Study Material Unit IV 129,133 4
Fruit Pulp: -45%
TSS: -68%
Acidity: -0.5-0.6%
Water: -33-38%

Processing of Jam

Selection of fruit: -Fully ripe fruit should be
harvested for Jam making. Jam is best fruit for
Jam making. Pineapple, carrot, strawberry,
banana, peach, pear also used for jam making.
Washing/Cleaning of fruit: - Fruit should be
cleaned by clean water.

13

Page 15

Preparation of Fruit: -Fruit should be peeled
and remove of core material for Jam making.
Blanching: - Blanching is the heating of fruit
or vegetables for a short time with either
steam or water, and is an essential step
before canning, drying or freezing of food.
This heating process is not meant to cook the
food but to inactivate substances that would
otherwise adversely affect the nutrient
content, colour, flavour or texture during
subsequent processing and storage.
Cooking with Sugar: - Fruit pulp start cooking
with 1/3 quantity with sugar. Aftersome time
add remaining sugar.
Adding of Citric Acid: - For enhancement of
test citric acid should be added at
103oCtemperature.
Judging of End-Point: -
Sheet or Flake test: -A small portion of jam is
taken out during boiling, in a spoon or wooden
ladle and cooled slightly, it is then allowed to
drop. If the product falls off in the form of a
sheet or flakes instead of flowing and a
continuous stream or syrup, it means that the
end-point has been reached and product is
ready, boiling is continued till the sheet is
positive.
Temperature: -1050C.
TSS: - 68-70%
Weight Test: - If total weight of jam is 1.5
time is more than sugar weight, jam is
prepared.
Packing: -Jam should be fill in glass jar.
Storage: -Jam should be stored at dry and
cool place.
