1. Modern cultivars have traits such as more attractive flower colors and forms, longer-lasting flowers, better growth habit, increased resistance to insects and disease organisms, or ability to grow and flower at cooler night temperatures

Explanation

Modern cultivars have been selectively bred to possess traits that make them more desirable to consumers and easier to grow. These traits include more attractive flower colors and forms, longer-lasting flowers, better growth habits, increased resistance to insects and disease organisms, and the ability to thrive and flower in cooler night temperatures. These improvements in cultivars have been achieved through careful breeding and selection processes, resulting in plants that are more visually appealing, hardy, and adaptable to different environments.

3. Commercial crops are grown either in the field or under protected cultivation, such as in glass or plastic structures.

Explanation

Commercial crops can be grown either in the field or under protected cultivation, such as in glass or plastic structures. This means that farmers have the option to grow their crops outdoors in open fields or indoors in controlled environments. By using protected cultivation methods, farmers can create optimal growing conditions for their crops, protecting them from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases. This allows for year-round cultivation and higher yields. Therefore, the statement that commercial crops are grown either in the field or under protected cultivation is true.

4. A cultivar is  

Explanation

The correct answer is "A race or variety of a plant that has been created or selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation."

6. Field production is confined to warm climates or to summer months in colder areas.

Explanation

Field production refers to the cultivation and harvesting of crops in open fields. This statement suggests that field production is limited to warm climates or to the summer months in colder areas. This is true because most crops require specific temperature ranges to grow successfully, and colder climates or seasons may not provide the necessary conditions for optimal crop production. Therefore, field production is indeed confined to warm climates or specific seasons in colder areas.

Submit

8.  Greenhouse production is  confined by climate or season

Explanation

Greenhouse production is not confined by climate or season. Greenhouses provide a controlled environment where temperature, humidity, and light can be adjusted to create optimal conditions for plant growth. This allows for year-round production of crops that would normally be limited by climate or season. Greenhouses enable farmers to grow a wide variety of plants regardless of the external conditions, making it possible to produce crops even in regions with harsh climates or limited growing seasons.
