Question: 3

(a) Study Fig. 3.1, which shows the climate of Sialkot.

Fig.3.1

(i) Circle on the x-axis

A the month when rice would be planted.

Any one month from April to June

 B the months when it would be growing

Any 3–5 consecutive months between May and September

C the month when it would be harvested

September or October[3]

(ii)Explain how canal irrigation is used and controlled to grow rice. [4]

from river / reservoir / dam / barrage / another canal closed or opened (by sluice or gate)
field flooded in preparation / for nursery beds / before transplanting kept flooded during
growth to a depth of about 30–37cm / 12–15inches drained before harvest

(b)Study Fig.3.2, which shows wheat production.

(i)What was the production in 2008? [1]

21million tonnes

(ii)Compare this to the production of wheat in the years from 1999 to 2007? [2]

higher than in 1999 / 2001/02/03/04 but not as high as 2005 / 2007 same as 2000 / 2006

(iii)Suggest reasons for the changes in production over these years. [4]

Rainfall variability / drought } floods / storm damage } reference to a form of water supply
max 2 poor irrigation } temperature pest attack capital / loans / profit from previous year
family sickness security / theft wheat price reasons for overall increase e.g. HYV, better /
more fertiliser, mechanisation, training, population increase

(c)To what extent is it possible to increase agricultural production by the use of modern
methods? [6]

Possibilities (res. 2) More growth with fertilisers Less damage with pesticides More yield with
better seed / HYVs /GM crops HYVs / GM pest resistant Benefits of machines (max. 2) named
modern irrigation method (max 2) Treatment of waterlogging and salinity e.g. with tubewells
Crop rotation to improve fertility eg. growing pulses, fallow Training and education Problems
(may be environmental or economic) (res. 2) Lack of literacy / education Means less training
Lack of money to invest Traditional farming methods Over-use of irrigation water causes
waterlogging / salinity Small / fragmented farms Causes and effects of pollution Build up of
resistance to pests High cost of fertiliser, machinery etc. Water pollution from runoff with
fertiliser / pesticide May be unsustainable

(d)Study Fig.3.3,
(i)What is the percentage of goods carried by rail? [1]

5%

(ii)Compare the advantage of transporting goods by road and rail. [4]

Road Door-to-door / goes everywhere Reaches all areas / remote areas / more roads Available
to all / no special vehicles More modern / better maintained Better for short distances / local
deliveries Cheaper because Faster because

Rail Only goes to stations Limited network Cheaper because Faster because Carries more
bulky / larger / heavier loads Old infrastructure / equipment Better for long distances
