Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Agricultural Science - 1997 (Objective) Subject: Agricultural Science

Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a good pasture?
Answer Details
The answer is "slow growth". A good pasture is one that can support the grazing needs of animals by providing high quality grasses and legumes with a high leaf to stem ratio. It should also have the ability to withstand trampling from the animals and be drought-resistant. Slow growth, on the other hand, would be a disadvantage as it means that the animals would have to wait longer for the grass to grow back after grazing. This would result in overgrazing and eventually lead to the depletion of the pasture.
