Agronomy QUESTION #2067

In an additive intercropping system, the total plant population of each component crop compared to its sole crop population is:

Reduced by 50% for each component crop
Maintained at the full sole crop density for each component — extra land area is effectively 'added' to accommodate both crops, unlike replacement series where populations are reduced✔️
Determined only by the LER value of the previous season
Equalized between the two component crops regardless of their sole crop densities

Correct Answer Logic:

In additive intercropping, one crop (main crop) is maintained at its full sole crop density and the intercrop (sub-crop) is added into the existing arrangement — no reduction in either component's population relative to sole cropping. This contrasts with replacement (substitutive) intercropping, where populations are proportionally reduced. Additive systems maximize total productivity.

Ability / HR / Governance / Special Education QUESTION #5656

Question 4847

A CFAO discovers that departmental accounts have not been reconciled with CGA/AGPR figures for three consecutive months. Under his duties what is the MOST SERIOUS institutional risk this creates?

Risk of salary delays for government servants
Risk of undetected unauthorized expenditure going unreported to Parliament and the PAC because the liability register and actual figures will diverge — rendering financial control and audit ineffective✔️
Risk of loss of budget allocation for the next year
Risk that the Financial Adviser will be held personally liable

Correct Answer Logic:

The CFAO must systematize maintenance of accounts and their timely reconciliation with CGA/AGPR figures and maintenance of the Liability Register. Failure to reconcile means that unauthorized expenditure excess spending and liabilities cannot be detected compared against the actual figures — this fundamentally undermines the entire financial control architecture including audit PAC accountability and the PAO's personal answerability. This is analytically the most serious institutional risk.
