Neco 2017 Agricultural Science Question 39
Practice objective / multiple choice question 39 from the 2017 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer can choose among three cropping options on one hectare of land: sole maize, sole cowpea, or intercropping maize with cowpea. Sole maize yields 3.2 t/ha, sole cowpea yields 1.5 t/ha, and market prices are \(\text{₦}150\) per kg for maize and \(\text{₦}200\) per kg for cowpea. Intercropping reduces maize yield by 20% and cowpea yield by 10% because of competition, but the farmer still uses the whole hectare. The government gives a subsidy of \(\text{₦}10,000\) per hectare for legume (cowpea) production. Which option gives the highest net revenue?
