The 4R principle promoted by the campaign for fertiliser use stands for which of the following?

  1. A.Right source, right rate, right time, right place
  2. B.Reduce, reuse, recycle, recover
  3. C.Right seed, right soil, right season, right subsidy
  4. D.Rain, river, reservoir, recharge

Correct answer

A. Right source, right rate, right time, right place

Explanation

The correct answer is option A. Under balanced nutrient management, the campaign promotes General Fertiliser Recommendations together with the 4R principle, which means applying fertiliser from the right source, at the right rate, at the right time and in the right place, so that the nutrient supply matches what the rabi crop needs. Option B lists the familiar four Rs of waste management, which belong to a different subject altogether and are a classic distractor. Option C invents a farm-sounding set of four Rs that has no basis in the campaign documents. Option D lists water terms that relate to water conservation, which the campaign does encourage, but they are not what the 4R principle means. Alongside this principle the campaign pushes natural farming, Integrated Nutrient Management, residue management in place of stubble burning, crop diversification towards oilseeds and pulses, and Integrated Pest Management.
