Question

Animal driven cane planter is developed by:
A. ICAR
B. CIAE
C. IISR
D. IARI

Answer 1

Hint: In different locations of India, sugarcane is planted using three different methods.
Flat planting- Shallow furrows are opened with a local plough or cultivator in this manner. At the time of planting, the field should have enough moisture. The celts are planted end to end in the furrows, with one three budded selt falling in each thirty-centimetre length of furrow. Following that, the furrows are filled with soil and the land is levelled with heavy planking.
Furrow planting- Furrows are formed around ten centimetres deep with a sugarcane ridger in this way. Selts are planted in the furrows end to end and covered with soil, leaving the upper portion of the furrows empty. Cover the selts into furrows as soon as possible.
Trench method- To keep the crop from lodging, the trench method is used. Trenches are dug by hand or with the aid of a ridger. After that, the fertiliser mixture should be placed evenly in the trenches and completely mixed in the soil. In trenches, the celts are planted end to end.To control termites, shoot and root borers, gamma BHC EC in water per hectare is sprayed over planted selts in trenches. Following that, as with flat sowing, the ditches are filled with loose dirt. For planting sugarcane in trenches, a tractor-drawn sugarcane planter is ideal.

Complete answer:
Option A: The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has the following mission: to plan, carry out, assist, promote, and coordinate education, research, and its application in agriculture, agroforestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, home science, and allied sciences.
So, option A is not correct.
Option B: The Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering (CIAE) was founded during the Fifth Five-Year Plan to solve agricultural engineering research challenges. Initially, agricultural research and development focused on field machinery, post-harvest technology, and energy.
So, option B is incorrect.
Option C: The animal-driven cane planter was created by the Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research (IISR) in Lucknow.
So, option C is correct.
Option D: The IARI was in charge of the research that led to India's "Green Revolution."
So, option D is not correct.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
