BSEB Inter Agriculture study guide
BSEB Inter Agriculture · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Bihar School Examination Board Intermediate Agriculture (I.Ag.) is a two-year higher-secondary vocational/academic stream taken after Class 10, assessed by BSEB through a written paper combining objective, short-answer and long-answer sections. It suits students in Bihar who intend to move into agriculture diploma or degree programmes, seek work in input dealerships, extension services, dairy or farm enterprises, or simply want a science-stream alternative with a strong applied focus. The BSEB Inter Agriculture study guide has 12 sections and about 3,599 words.
01Principles of Agronomy and Crop Production
This domain tests how crops are established and managed as populations: tillage, seed rate, planting geometry, water and nutrient scheduling, cropping systems and growth analysis. BSEB questions often ask you to convert a recommendation into a field operation or interpret a growth index.
327 words, about 2 min02Soil Science and Soil Fertility Management
This domain tests soil physical, chemical and biological properties, essential plant nutrients, fertilizer grades and soil conservation. Numerical questions usually require converting a nutrient recommendation into fertilizer material or interpreting soil test values.
317 words, about 2 min03Plant Breeding, Seed Technology and Genetics
This domain tests Mendelian inheritance, breeding methods, variety development and seed production. Expect questions on self- and cross-pollinated crops, hybridization, seed classes, genetic purity and germination.
283 words, about 1 min04Horticulture (Olericulture, Pomology, Floriculture)
This domain tests vegetable production, fruit culture and flower production. Questions cover classification, nursery and propagation, training and pruning, bearing habits and photoperiod responses.
270 words, about 1 min05Plant Protection: Entomology and Plant Pathology
This domain tests pest and disease recognition, damage symptoms, integrated pest management (IPM) and safe pesticide use. Questions often link insect mouthparts or pathogen type to the correct control method.
315 words, about 2 min06Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science
This domain tests livestock breeds, reproduction, feeding, milk composition and dairy management. BSEB questions often ask breed identification, gestation length or a simple milk-yield comparison.
307 words, about 2 min07Agricultural Economics
This domain tests production costs, returns, farm budgeting, marketing and price relationships. Numerical questions usually require separating fixed and variable costs and calculating net income or benefit-cost ratio.
296 words, about 1 min08Extension and Farm Management
This domain tests extension teaching methods, adoption and communication, together with farm planning, budgeting and records. Questions often ask which method suits a particular audience or how to compare a change in practice.
304 words, about 2 min09Agricultural Engineering and Farm Machinery
This domain tests tillage implements, seeding and spraying machinery, irrigation efficiency, power transmission and farm safety. Numerical items often involve calibration, area covered or water discharge.
291 words, about 1 min10Agroforestry
This domain tests deliberate integration of trees with crops, livestock or horticultural crops. Questions cover systems, tree-crop interactions, species choice, windbreaks and boundary plantations.
289 words, about 1 min11Environmental Science and Sustainable Agriculture
This domain tests pollution, natural resource conservation, organic farming, integrated nutrient management and climate-smart practices. Questions often ask for the environmental reason behind a farm practice.
290 words, about 1 min12Practical/Applied Agriculture and Field Skills
This domain tests field operations and laboratory routines: seed testing, soil sampling, nursery raising, transplanting, fertilizer application, pest scouting, spray safety and record keeping. Questions reward correct sequence and measurement.
