MCQ (Single Correct)

Diseases occurring due to Calcium (Ca) deficiency in crops are:

(A) Hollow heart in Groundnut

(B) Frenching of Citrus

(C) Pod popping in Groundnut

(D) Pillowing of Cucumber

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

फसलों में कैल्शियम (Ca) की कमी के कारण होने वाले विकार/रोग हैं:

(A) मूंगफली में हॉलो हार्ट (Hollow heart)

(B) नींबू वर्गीय फलों में फ्रेंचिंग (Frenching of Citrus)

(C) मूंगफली में पॉड पॉपिंग (Pod popping / पॉप्स)

(D) खीरे में पिलोइंग (Pillowing of Cucumber)

नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सही उत्तर चुनें:

Only (A) and (B) केवल (A) और Only (B) and (C) केवल (B) और (C) Only (A) and (D) केवल (A) और (D) Only (C) and (D) केवल (C) और (D)

Evaluating each nutrient deficiency disorder:

Hollow heart in Groundnut: Caused by BORON deficiency (leads to internal cavity in cotyledons).
Frenching of Citrus: Caused by ZINC deficiency or thallium toxicity (chlorosis with green veins).
Pod popping in Groundnut: Classic CALCIUM deficiency disorder where peanut pods develop empty shells without seeds (pops), because pegs absorb Ca directly from the pegging zone.
Pillowing of Cucumber: Classic CALCIUM deficiency physiological disorder causing internal white spongy cushion-like tissue in the mesocarp.

Therefore, Calcium deficiency disorders are (C) and (D) only.

पोषक तत्वों की कमी से होने वाले विकारों का विश्लेषण:

मूंगफली में हॉलो हार्ट: बोरॉन (Boron) की कमी के कारण होता है।
सिट्रस की फ्रेंचिंग: जिंक (Zinc) की कमी से होती है।
मूंगफली में पॉड पॉपिंग (Pops): कैल्शियम (Ca) की कमी का सबसे प्रमुख लक्षण है, जिसमें मूंगफली की फली अंदर से खोखली रह जाती है और दाना नहीं बनता।
खीरे में पिलोइंग (Pillowing): कैल्शियम की कमी से फल के गूदे में सफेद स्पंजी ऊतक बन जाते हैं।

अतः कैल्शियम की कमी से होने वाले विकार केवल (C) और (D) हैं।
