Correct Answer: D. they require a relatively low temperature

Explanation

(a)(i) The effects of irrigation on crop production are: (1) Irrigation softens the soil for easy tillage operations. (2) It provides moisture in the soil for root absorption. (3) It reduces the amount of salts accumulated in the top soil, which could be harmful to crop plants. (4) It also cools the soil by reducing the soil temperature during the dry season when the soil temperature is very high and plant growth is thus improved. (5) Irrigation enables the crop to be well established even when rain is erratic. (6) It increases crop productivity or crop yield. (7) Irrigation provides humid environment for the breeding of pest and pathogens of crops. (8) It helps in the improvement of microbial decomposition of organic manure to release nutrients for crop plant. (9) Irrigation dissolves nutrients for root absorption. (10) It assists in facilitating crop production all year round. (11) Irrigation encourages the spread of weed seeds.

(ii) The effects of drainage on crop production are: (1) Drainage helps in reclaiming waterlogged soil for crop production. (2) Drainage improves the soil structure thereby improving the water holding capacity of the soil. (3) It improves soil aeration for good root respiration. (4) It gives suitable conditions for the growth of soil microbes responsible for the decomposition of soil organic matter which provides nutrients for plant growth (5) It helps to increase the soil temperature for the benefit of crop plants (6) Drainage also leaches excess salts from soil thereby preventing the death of plants arising from poisoning (7) It makes tillage operations easier. (8) It reduces the incidence of crop diseases. (9) It enhances harvesting of crops, especially swamp rice. (10) It enhances early planting of crops.

(b) The methods of surface irrigation are (i) Contour ditch (ii) border dyke (iii) border ditch (iv) furrow irrigation (v) basin irrigation (vi) wild flooding.

(c) Surface drainage is necessary in crop production because: (i) It removes excess water caused by heavy rainfall especially in heavy soils (ii) it is easier to construct (iii) Irrigation is cheap to establish and maintain (iv) It prevents accumulation of alkalis (v) It increases the activities of microbes in top soil (vi) It helps in the collection and disposal of surface run-off.

- Attracts investors to agricultural business/encourages commercial farming/ encourage agricultural development

- Improves farmer's standard of living

(c) Fishery regulations in West Africa

- Ban on the use of toxic chemicals/poisons

- Landing tax is paid based on the total catch and sizes of fish at landing sites

- Fishing areas are allocated to individual fishermen so as to curb indiscriminate interference within the large fishing areas

- No vessels (except canoes) shall fish within the first two nautical miles of the territorial waters a country's continental shelf

- No person shall operate or navigate any motorised fishing boat within the territorial water of other country unless a license in respect of that vessel has been issued

- Identified breeding section of water is normally restricted from fishing

- Fishing activities is restricted during rainy season/ close season regulation

- The use of prescribed/particular/restricted mesh size in fishing to protect young fish

- Ban on the discharge of pollutants or toxic materials into a country's terririal water

- Ban on the use of explosives in fishing except for the purpose of research

- Ban on the use of electric fishing except for the purpose of research

- Coastal areas to be constantly under surveillance to restrict foreign vessels from exploitation

- certification that fishes to be sold to the public are free from all toxic substances and human consumption must be obtained

- Exportation of fish products shall be done through the normal procedures not from the sea

- There should be regular stocking of a compatible species in order to increase the population of fishes in the water

- A fisherman is only alowed to catch a specific quantity of fish at a particular time

(d) Reasons why beekeeping is important

- Source of honey used as food/medicine

- Source of propollis/ venom used as medicine

- Source of income
