CHOOSE ANY BEST 4
(I). Closely related crops do not follow each other in the same sequence, since such crops will be drawing the same type of nutrients from the soil. e.g. Maize should not be followed by rice or sorghum in rotation.
(II) Deep rooted crops should not follow each other in the same sequence. Therefore, deep rooted crops should be followed by shallow rooted crops. For examples, yam should be followed by maize.
(III) Crops of the same family should not follow each other, since they will be susceptible to the same diseases and pests. e.g. maize, wheat, rice, sorghum and millet.
(IV) Period of fallow should be included in the rotational course, as thus will help to replenish the soil fertility.
(V) During fallowing, leguminous crops may be planted for building up more nitrogen.

Scale of preference refers to the order in which an individual or society ranks different wants or needs in order of importance.
(10b)
(i) Elasticity of demand = [(Q2 – Q1) / ((Q2 + Q1) / 2)] / [(P2 – P1) / ((P2 + P1) / 2)]
= [(28,500 – 59,800) / ((28,500 + 59,800) / 2)] / [(750 – 450) / ((750 + 450) / 2)]
