Grade 10 Plant Studies

Agricultural Sciences practice questions and a worked example

Grade 10 Agricultural Sciences plant studies questions cover field crops, fodder crops, vegetables, fruit, forest trees and invasive plants. You classify crops as grain, oil seed or industrial crops and vegetables by the part that is eaten, give climate and soil requirements, and work out totals and percentage increases from tables and graphs of production. They come from the Eastern Cape Department of Education’s Grade 10 November Paper 2s for 2018 and 2019 and its 2020 exemplar, each with the answer from the marking guideline.

Common mistakes

  • Working out a percentage increase on the new amount. Oranges rose from 700 t to 920 t, so the increase is 220 ÷ 700 × 100 = 31,4%.
  • Calling apples a subtropical fruit. Apples are deciduous fruit crops; bananas are tropical.
  • Classing maize as an industrial crop. Maize is a grain crop, sunflower an oil seed crop and sugar cane an industrial crop.
