Question

Which crop is associated with Ratooning?

Options

• Sugarcane

• Jute

• Rice

• Cotton

Answer 1

Sugarcane

Explanation:

Ratooning is an agricultural practice where the second or subsequent crops are grown from the stubble of the previous crop without replanting. In sugarcane cultivation, after the initial harvest, the leftover roots and lower parts of the stem regrow and produce a new crop, known as the ratoon crop. This method helps reduce planting costs and time, but ratoon crops typically yield less than the original crop.
