Neco Model Questions Vol1 2023 Agricultural Science Question 14
Practice objective / multiple choice question 14 from the 2023 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer cultivates \(5\) ha of maize with an expected yield of \(4\) t ha\(^{-1}\). A leaf‑blight disease currently affects \(20\)% of the area, causing a \(35\)% yield loss on the affected portion. The market price of maize is ₦150 kg\(^{-1}\). A fungicide treatment costing ₦12,000 ha\(^{-1}\) reduces disease incidence to \(5\)% while the loss on the remaining affected area stays at \(35\)%. Should the farmer apply the fungicide? Compute the net profit (in ₦) for both scenarios and indicate the better option.
