Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not a biotic factor affecting agricultural production?
Answer Details
The answer is "soil". Soil is not a biotic factor affecting agricultural production, but an abiotic factor because it is a non-living component of the environment. Biotic factors are living organisms that affect agricultural production, such as predators, parasites, pests, and diseases. These organisms interact with plants and animals in the ecosystem, and their presence or absence can greatly impact the success of agricultural production. On the other hand, soil provides the physical support for plants, as well as nutrients and water, but it does not actively participate in the ecosystem as a living organism.
