| (B) Mycorrhiza | (II) Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
| (C) Biocontrol agent | (III) Biofertilisers |
| (D) Ethanol | (IV) Trichoderma |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
(A) Organic farming — this matches (III) Biofertilisers. Organic farming avoids chemical fertilisers. It feeds the soil with biofertilisers, which are living organisms that raise the nutrient content of the soil.
(B) Mycorrhiza — this matches (I) Glomus. Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association of a fungus with the root of a plant. Glomus is a fungus that forms it. The fungus helps the plant to absorb phosphorus from the soil and the plant gives it food.
(C) Biocontrol agent — this matches (IV) Trichoderma. A biocontrol agent is a living organism used to control a pest or a plant disease. Trichoderma is a fungus that works against plant pathogens.
(D) Ethanol — this matches (II) Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This yeast ferments sugars into ethanol, so it is used to make beverages such as wine and beer.
