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

    • True

    • False

    A. True
    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.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    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.

Therefore, field production is indeed confined to warm climates or specific seasons in colder areas.

     Greenhouse production is  confined by climate or season

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    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.
