    Question

    Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed (FIRB) System has been

    adopted in wheat farming to improve resource use efficiency. How does the FIRB system specifically benefit wheat cultivation, and what are the exact savings in water, seeds, and nutrients compared to the conventional system?
    A It increases water usage by 50%, improves soil aeration, and saves 10% seeds. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B It saves 25-40% water, 25-40% seeds, and 25% nutrients while maintaining or slightly increasing yield. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C It enhances soil compaction, leading to reduced weed pressure but increased fertilizer need. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It decreases soil moisture retention, requiring additional irrigation intervals. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E It saves 80% water, 70% seeds, and 95% nutrients while increasing yield. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The FIRB system involves sowing wheat on raised beds with furrows for irrigation, resulting in significant savings of water, seeds, and nutrients while maintaining or even increasing yield compared to traditional methods.
