What is the importance of objective questions from mycology in agricultural competition exams?
Agronomy (cultivation of field crops), pomology (cultivation of fruit crops), floriculture (cultivation of flower crops), olericulture (cultivation of vegetable crops), post harvest technology of food crops, sericulture (cultivation of silkworm for silk), bee keeping (rearing of bees for honey and other commercial product), animal husbandry etc., are the major subjects of agriculture and which are directly related with the cultivation, management and the production.
Whether it is the cultivation of rice or rearing of silkworm; the knowledge of mycology is very necessary.
Questions from this topic are always asked in the different agricultural competition exams such as:
- JRF.
- SRF.
- Agricultural NET.
- SAU CET.
- ARS.
- Bank Examinations.
- State PSCs and UPSC.
