(1d)
(i) It can be used on a steep slope or undulating landscape
(ii) It is used for efficient control of water
(iii) It can be used to apply liquid fertilizers

===========================

(2a)
Area = (1/2) x (a+b) x h
Area = (1/2) x (90+70) x 40
Area = (1/2) x (160) x 40
Area = 80 x 40
Area = 3200m²

(2b)
Area per plant = 4×4
Area per plant = 16m²
Number of plants = ?
= (Total area of farmland)/(Area per plant)
Number of plants = 3200/16
Number of plants = 200

Double harvesting is a technique where only part of the yam tuber is harvested, allowing the remaining part to continue growing in the soil. This practice helps the yam plant to continue producing more tuber, which can be harvested later. It allows for a second harvest from the same plant without replanting, maximizing the yield from a single crop.
