(6bi) Land preparation involve the application of fertilizers, soil amendments, and other materials to improve the soil’s structure and fertility. Once the land has been prepared, the sweet orange trees can be planted, and the production process can continue. (6bii) Sweet oranges prefer well-drained soils with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. The soil should also be fertile, with adequate levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support the growth and development of the trees. (6biii) The production of sweet oranges typically involves the use of two types of planting materials: seeds and vegetative cuttings. Seeds can be used to produce new sweet orange trees, but they are not commonly used in commercial production due to the long germination time and the variability of the resulting trees. Instead, most sweet orange trees are propagated through the use of vegetative cuttings, which are pieces of the sweet orange tree that are cut and planted to produce new, genetically identical trees. (6biv) The production of sweet orange involves two main cultural practices: planting and care of the trees, and harvesting of the fruit. In terms of planting and care of the trees, sweet orange trees are typically grown from seedlings or grafted onto rootstock. Once the trees reach maturity, typically after 3-4 years, they will begin to bear fruit. The sweet orange fruit is typically harvested using a combination of hand-picking and mechanical shaking of the trees. The fruit is then sorted, graded, and packed for distribution.

  • Sleep when you feel like:  When you are preparing for any exams, sleeping is very important because it helps in the consolidation of memory. Caution: Only sleep when you feel like it and don’t oversleep.
  • Make sure you are healthy:  Sickness can cause excessive feelings of tiredness and fatigue and will not allow you to concentrate on reading. If you are feeling as if you are not well, report to your parent, a nurse, or a doctor. Make sure you are well.
  • Eat when you feel like it: During the exam preparation period, you are advised not to overeat, and to avoid sleep. You need to eat little and light food whenever you feel like eating. Eat more fruits, drink milk and glucose. This will help you enhance retention.
  • Reduce your time on social media: Some people live their entire lives on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Messenger chat. This is so bad and catastrophic if you are preparing for exams. Try and reduce your time spent on social media during this time. Maybe after the exams, you can go back and sleep in it.

(Answer Only ONE Question From This Section)

(5ai) The area of the farmland is 1,960cm²

(5aii) 1 mound = 2m² But 1m = 100cm

2m = 200cm 2m² = 40,000cm

Number of mounds = 40,000/1,960

= 20 mounds

(5aiii) Total number of setts needed:

Seed rate is 5,000 setts/ha, which means 5,000 setts are needed for one hectare of land (1 hectare = 10,000 m²).

To calculate the total number of setts needed for the mounds: Total setts needed = Number of mounds x Seed rate per mound.

Total setts needed = 20 mounds x 5,000 setts/mound = 755,000 setts.

(iii) Fodder for Animal: Some of the Weeds have good palatable taste.which make the a good fodder for farm animals (iv) Erosion Control: In certain cases, weeds can act as ground cover, reducing soil erosion caused by wind and water runoff.

(6di) Area of the farmland:

Area (A) = Length (L) x Width (W). Given that the length (L) = 30 m and width (W) = 60 m. Area (A) = 30 m x 60 m = 1800m².

(6dii) Plant population in the farmland:

Spacing of the vegetable is 30 cm by 30 cm. To calculate the plant population, divide the total area by the area occupied by each plant (spacing).

Area occupied by each plant = 0.3 m x 0.3 m = 0.09 m².

Plant population = Total area of farmland / Area occupied by each plant.

Plant population = 1800 m² / 0.09 m² = 20,000 plants.

The plant population in the farmland is 20,000 plants. ====================================================

(9a) To calculate the number of days it took for the work to be done in 2017:

In 2015, six labourers completed the work in ten days. Let’s assume that the total work required to prepare the farmland is “W” units.

Work done in 2015 = W units Number of labourers in 2015 = 6 Number of days in 2015 = 10

In 2017, only four labourers were available. Let’s assume the number of days it took to complete the work in 2017 is “d” days.

Work done in 2017 = W units Number of labourers in 2017 = 4 Number of days in 2017 = t (to be determined)

Now, we know that the amount of work done in both years is the same (W units). Therefore, we can set up the following equation based on the work equation:

Work done in 2015 = Work done in 2017

6 labourers x 10 days = 4 labourers x d days

Now, solve for “d”:

6 x 10 = 4 x d

Therefore, it took 15 days for the work to be done in 2017.

If 4 people worked together for 15 days, we can calculate the total work done in terms of man-days as:

Total work done = Number of people x Number of days

Total work done = 4 people x 15 days

Total work done = 60 man-days

So, if 4 people worked together for 15 days, the total work completed would be 60 man-days.

(9aii) (i) Family Labor (ii) Hired or paid labour

(9aiii) (PICK ANY TWO) (i) Labour Attendance Record (ii) Labour Wage and Payment Record (iii) Work Done Record (iv) Safety and Health Record

(9b) (i) Wholesalers (ii) Retailers (iii) producers (iv) cooperative societies

(9c) (i) Limited access to modern equipment and resources in rural areas hinder exytension workers in promoting new agricultural technologies or practices (ii) High level of illiteracy among farmers may slow down the rate of adoption of new innovations (iii) Poor infrastructure, such as bad roads and limited transportation, can hinder extension workers’ mobility and accessibility to remote rural communities. (iv) Unfavourable attitude of rural farmers toward government programmes, makes adoption of new innovations difficult. (v) Language barrier leads to improper dissemination of new innovations (vi) Inadequate resources such as finance and materials tend to hinder his performance. =====================================================

(10a) Scale of preference refers to a ranking or order of individuals’ preferences for different goods and services. It represents the way people make choices based on their desires and needs, given their limited resources or income. In essence, individuals assign relative importance to various options and make decisions to maximize their utility or satisfaction.

(10bi) To calculate the elasticity of demand, we use the formula: Elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price

Given data: Quantity demanded in 2012 (Q1) = 59,800 grape fruits Price in 2012 (P1) = N450 per basket

Quantity demanded in 2018 (Q2) = 28,500 grape fruits Price in 2018 (P2) = N750 per basket

Now, calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded: Percentage change in quantity demanded = ((Q2 – Q1) / Q1) x 100

Percentage change in quantity demanded = ((28,500 – 59,800) / 59,800) x 100

= -31,300/59,800 x 100 = -0.52 x 100 = -52 Percentage change in quantity demanded ≈ -52%

Next, calculate the percentage change in price: Percentage change in price = ((P2 – P1) / P1) x 100 Percentage change in price = ((750 – 450) / 450) x 100

= 300/450 x 100 = 0.67 x 100 = 67 Percentage change in price = 67%

Now, calculate the elasticity of demand: Elasticity of demand ≈ (-52% / 67%) = -0.76

(10bii) The demand for grape fruits is inelastic. This is because the calculated elasticity of demand (-0.76) is less than 1.

(10biii) (i) Price of Substitutes (ii) Consumer Income (iii) Consumer Preferences and Tastes

(10biv) (i) Sales Record (ii) Inventory Record

(10c) (i) Visual Learning: Demonstrations offer a visual learning experience, making it easier for the audience to understand complex concepts and techniques through practical examples.

(ii) Active Participation: Demonstrations encourage active participation, allowing the audience to engage directly in the learning process by observing and performing tasks.

(iii) Practical Skills Development: Participants can learn and practice specific skills in real-time, enhancing their competency and confidence in applying the knowledge in their own settings.

(iv) Better Retention: Visual and hands-on learning experiences are known to improve information retention, as participants can see and experience the subject matter firsthand.

(v) Problem-Solving Opportunities: Demonstrations provide opportunities for participants to observe problem-solving techniques and responses to challenges, which they can apply in similar situations.

(vi) Addressing Language Barriers: Demonstrations can transcend language barriers, as they rely more on visual cues and actions rather than verbal communication, making them suitable for diverse audiences.

Penguins Are Key Indicators of the Ocean’s Health

African Penguins on the beach at the Boulders Penguin Colony, part of the Table Mountain National Park, on Feb. 9, 2022 in Simonstown in South Africa's Western Cape province.

I n Betty’s Bay, South Africa, one of the world’s wildlife celebrities, an African penguin, was busy shaking herself free from the sea. On land, cute and ungainly in equal measure, this princess of the ocean had a glint in her eye. It was late April during peak breeding season. She hurried toward rocks and scrub bed beyond the tideline. Here, she would disappear momentarily beneath a meandering boardwalk built for admiring tourists before emerging on the other side. Lining the margin of the sandy beach were rows of white nesting shelters and, in one of them, her mate.

Nearby, a conservationist was proudly pointing out a new walkway designed by scientists with penguins in mind. These flightless birds were now using it as their preferred route under the boardwalk and out to sea. Cunningly, it would lead them over a state-of-the-art weighbridge telling scientists how successful these dapper little birds had been at fishing. African penguins spend a lot of time at sea catching fish. When times are good, they can gain a third of their body weight in a day. When fishing is bad, they lose weight and may abandon attempts to breed.

So, how were they doing? Well, not good. The penguins’ staple prey of sardines and anchovies are being pulled out of the ocean in great quantities for animal feed. Much of the fish are to be ground down into fishmeal for the feed troughs of industrially reared pigs, poultry, and fish. Declining fish stocks mean that penguins are finding it harder to find enough food for their chicks, putting further pressure on a species in drastic decline.

Latest projections show this iconic species could be extinct in the wild by 2035. Having once numbered in their millions, African penguins have since declined by 97% in little more than a century. The impact of their decline will be felt close to home, not least for the local economy. Renowned for pulling a crowd, the tourist revenue at a similar penguin colony at Boulders Beach, Cape Town has been estimated at over 300 million rand ($16 million) a year.

This unfolding ecological disaster also points to much broader concern for the environment, with penguins being seen as a key indicator of the wider ecological health of our ocean. Their plight could well be the canary in the coal mine for what needs to happen if we are to preserve life on both land and sea.

The ocean is our planet’s life support and is what regulates the global climate system. It is the world’s largest ecosystem, home to nearly a million known species and containing vast untapped potential for scientific discovery.

Despite our utter reliance on it, we have only ever explored about 10% of it. While we know little of the ocean compared to its immense vastness, what we do know is that the consequences of our actions are evident throughout its waters.

As the plight of the penguins shows, a classic interdependence between land and sea is the way we produce food. Recent decades have seen the uptick of industrial agriculture often associated with heavy use of artificial fertilizers, chemical pesticides, and poor animal welfare. Farmed animals have essentially been taken from pastures and reared in confinement, causing big impacts on both the welfare of farmed animals and the environment.

African Penguin on Boulders Beach, Simon's Town, Cape Town, South Africa in 2022.

Fertilizers are a big source of pollution in the ocean, leading to over 500 dead zones , areas of sea where nothing lives. Large amounts of commercial fertiliser containing the “Big 3” primary nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), and manure are applied to soils. Excess nutrients then wash into rivers and streams and end up in the sea, killing fish and other aquatic life needed by the wider ecosystem, including seabirds like penguins.

Scientists now fear that the amount of nitrogen pollution emitted just by global animal farming is more than the planet can cope with. Aimable Uwizeye of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization found that animal farming accounts for about a third of all humanity’s nitrogen emissions. Of this, 68% of emissions are  attributable to crops grown to feed animals , followed by nitrogen released by the build-up and management of manure.

This further exacerbates the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and the proliferation of pollution and waste. This crisis is placing the world’s ecosystems under assault . Billions of hectares of land are degraded, affecting almost half of the world’s population and threatening half of global GDP. Rural communities, smallholder farmers and the extremely poor are hit hardest.

The way we produce and consume food is driving over 80 % of biodiversity loss.  Pollution from land-based sources and overfishing for animal feed is impacting species in Africa and other parts of the world much as it is impacting the penguins of Betty’s Bay. Penguins are sadly one of the most threatened groups of seabirds, with half of the 18 penguin species listed as either Vulnerable or Endangered .

But land restoration can reverse the creeping tide of degradation, drought and desertification. Restoration boosts livelihoods, lowers poverty and builds resilience to extreme weather. Restoration increases carbon storage and slows climate change. Restoring just 15% of land and halting further conversion could avoid up to 60% of expected species extinctions.

We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, green our cities, fish sustainably, harvest rainwater, and eat nature-friendly, higher welfare foods. Governments and the finance sector can promote regenerative, nature-friendly farming to increase food production while preserving ecosystems. Agricultural, forestry and fishing subsidies can be redirected towards sustainable practices and small-scale farmers. Farming can be encouraged to use sustainable farming practices that don’t rely on heavy chemical inputs and animal feed. Farmed animals can be returned to the land as part of balanced, rotational, mixed agricultural practices that adhere to nature-friendly, animal welfare and agro-ecological principles. Consumers, in turn, can help by choosing foods that help build a better, more sustainable future.

It’s only in this way that we can be the generation that finally makes peace with land and sea. And in this way, ensure a better future for the likes of Betty’s Bay’s penguins, people, and all other life on Earth.

In Florida, Democrats Hope Abortion Will Revive Their Fortunes

A close-up photograph of three people’s wrists, with beaded bracelets reading “Take,” “Pro-choice,” “Back" and “Florida.”

By Mara Gay

Photographs by Damon Winter

Ms. Gay, a member of the editorial board, reported from Miami and Orlando, Fla.

On the Miami River recently, a parade of gleaming white pleasure boats cruised through the city. Half-naked revelers basked on their decks, swaying to Taylor Swift anthems and waving bottles of champagne as they floated by.

A few yards away, in the windowless conference room of an aging Hyatt hotel, a group of Florida Democrats was far more sober. The state may be known for careless hedonism and family pleasures, but Democrats will be spending the summer working on a very serious and nearly desperate plan to rescue the Florida Democratic Party.

Nikki Fried, the last Democrat elected to statewide office in Florida — over half a decade ago, as agriculture commissioner — dug her heels into the carpeted floor. “It’s going to be women that are going to get us out of this,” Ms. Fried, now Florida’s Democratic Party chair, told a roomful of statehouse candidates, all of them women.

The Democrats had gathered in Miami to plot a comeback in Florida, where they have been largely ousted from power. Central to their efforts is building on anger over the state’s new six-week abortion ban, which is among the most extreme in the country and is opposed by a majority of Florida voters, who have consistently said in polls they wanted more access to reproductive care, not less.

In January, anger over Republican restrictions on abortion in the state led a Democrat, Tom Keen, to flip a state House seat in Orlando. Democrats aren’t pretending they can do the same thing with the state’s presidential vote, which is still likely to go to Donald Trump, but they believe championing reproductive freedom can help them regain a foothold in the statehouse in Tallahassee. They are eyeing a long-term strategy that begins with flipping at least five state House seats this November, unseating a Republican supermajority.
