NONE
Step-by-step solution
1. Paleo irrigation refers to the initial application of water to the field prior to sowing seeds to prepare the soil and ensure adequate moisture. 2. Kor irrigation is the first watering applied to a crop after it has germinated and grown a few centimeters high. 3. Therefore, watering done prior to sowing is called Paleo Irrigation. Answer: B
Explanation
Paleo irrigation refers to the initial application of water to the field before sowing crops to prepare the land and provide sufficient seedbed moisture for germination. Kor irrigation, on the other hand, is the first watering given to the crop when it is a few centimeters high.
Why the other options are wrong
A) Kor irrigation is the first watering given to a crop when it is a few centimeters high after sowing. C) Kor irrigation occurs after crop emergence, making option C incorrect. D) Option B is the correct term for pre-sowing irrigation.
Shortcut
Paleo = Pre-sowing watering; Kor = First watering after crop germination.
Common mistake
Confusing Paleo irrigation done prior to sowing with Kor watering done after initial crop growth.
Correct answer: B) Paleo Irrigation
