Nuclear agriculture invovles the use of nuclear technology in agriculture. Which of the following are the applications of Nuclear Agriculture?
1. Development of high yielding seed varieties
2. Improvement of nutritional value of crops
3. Controlling pests and insects
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
a. 1 and 2 only
b. 1 and 3 only
c. 2 and 3 only
d. 1, 2 and 3
D
D is correct.
Nuclear Agriculture is carried out by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to develop high yielding seed varieties by inducing mutations using Gamma radiation. Gamma radiation only accelerates the mutations which otherwise occurs naturally over a much longer periods of time. So far BARC released 42 seed varieties for commercial exploitation. Mutations can be in such a way that the crops mature early, to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses and to obtain better nutritional quality.
While insecticides/pesticides have had an impact, pests and insects are able to learn to resist certain treatments forcing greater quantities of insecticides/pesticides to be used. The development of the sterile insect technique (SIT) is the most proven and common method where nuclear technology has been utilized to control or eliminate insects.
Which among the following are the factors that can affects the ocean currents?
1. Shape of coastlines
2. Relief structures at ocean basin
3. Rotation of the Earth
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
a. 1 and 3 only
b. 1 and 2 only
c. 2 and 3 only
d. 1, 2 and 3
D
D is correct.
The factors that modify currents include:
• Direction, shape and configuration of coastline- the disposition of coast line perpendicular to natural flow direction of ocean currents obstruct them. Ocean currents thus flow parallel to coastline. The equatorial current after being obstructed by Brazilian coast bifurcates into Gulf Stream and Brazilian current.
• Bottom reliefs - The irregularities of bottom reliefs modify the currents at the surface and bottom. The submarine ridges usually deflect the course of currents. For example, north equatorial current is deflected to the right while crossing mid Atlantic ridge.
• Seasonal Variation – There is seasonal change in direction of currents in some areas in response to seasonal change in weather conditions For example in the regions of monsoon climate the currents of the Indian Ocean show seasonal change in their flow directions. The monsoon drifts flow in north east direction under the influence of south west monsoon. They move east to west along the coast during north east monsoon.

The trial lasted for four years and is known as Meerut Conspiracy Case. Many defense committees were formed all over the country and even in England and other foreign countries. The nationalist leaders provided legal defense to the accused. Some of them were acquitted while others were convicted.

The Congress agreed to join the second Round Table Conference to chalk out constitutional reforms. Some of the other conditions were that the British would withdraw all orders imposing curbs on the activities of the Indian National Congress. They also agreed to withdraw trials relating to several offences except those involving violence and release of prisoners arrested for participating in the civil disobedience movement.
