ibps-so 2018 · Question 36 of 356

Highest P2O5 consumption in which crop?

  1. ASorghum
  2. BSoyabean
  3. CWheat
  4. DMaize
  5. EGroundnutCorrect

Answer: E. Groundnut

Explanation

Phosphorus (P2O5) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and is often applied as part of fertilizers to improve crop yield. Different crops have varying nutrient requirements, and groundnut (also known as peanut) is known to have relatively high phosphorus consumption compared to the other crops listed. Groundnut plants require phosphorus for various physiological processes, including energy transfer, root development, and flowering. As groundnut is a leguminous crop, phosphorus is particularly important for the formation of nodules on the roots, which house nitrogen-fixing bacteria, aiding in nitrogen fixation.
