MCQ (Single Correct) +1 −0.33

Agriculture is not merely growing crops but more of applied -

कृषि केवल फसलें उगाना ही नहीं है, बल्कि यह मुख्यतः किसका व्यावहारिक रूप है -

Ecosystem पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र Environment पर्यावरण Ecology पारिस्थितिकी Climate जलवायु

Agriculture is fundamentally defined as applied ecology (agroecology) because it manipulates biological organisms, energy flows, and environmental factors to produce food and fiber.
Agronomists manage the ecological interactions between crop communities (biotic components) and soil, water, atmospheric radiation, and nutrients (abiotic environment).
An ecosystem is the physical structural-functional unit, while ecology is the scientific study of relationships between living organisms and their environment.
Sustainable agriculture requires implementing ecological principles such as nutrient cycling, biological pest regulation, and biodiversity conservation.

Hence, agriculture is more of applied Ecology (Option 3).

कृषि केवल फसलें उगाना मात्र नहीं है, बल्कि यह अनिवार्यतः 'व्यावहारिक पारिस्थितिकी' (Applied Ecology या Agroecology) है।
सस्य विज्ञान में फसलों (जैविक घटकों) तथा मृदा, जल, तापमान व पोषक तत्वों (अजैविक घटकों) के बीच होने वाले अंतर्संबंधों का प्रबंधन किया जाता है।
पारिस्थितिकी (Ecology) जीवों एवं उनके पर्यावरण के मध्य संबंधों का वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन है, जिसका प्रत्यक्ष अनुप्रयोग कृषि में होता है।
पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र (Ecosystem) इसकी संरचनात्मक एवं कार्यात्मक इकाई है।

अतः कृषि व्यावहारिक पारिस्थितिकी (Applied Ecology) का रूप है (विकल्प 3)।
