Question

?John, a farmer, is facing the problem of cotton-root diseases in his field. Which type of forage should John use to control cotton-root diseases in his field?
alfalfa
sweet clover
orchard grass
brome grass

Answer 1

Orchard grass is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

John should use Orchard grass as a forage to control cotton-root diseases in his field.

Explanation:

• The orchard grass would act like an alternative fodder for the organisms causing the cotto-root disease in the field.

• Once the orchard grass is laid in the field, the organisms causing the root disease would leave the roots to feed on the orchard grass.

• The orchard grass, in turn, would act like a medicine and would kill the organisms causing the disease.
