Question Statement:

Read the following passage and answer the question: "Precision agriculture integrates global positioning systems, remote sensing, and variable-rate applicators to tailor inputs such as water, fertilizer, and agrochemicals to specific spatial zones within a field. By moving away from uniform field-scale applications, this methodology optimizes resource-use efficiency, lowers production costs, and curbs environmental pollution from agricultural runoff." What is the primary theme of the passage?

Options:

  • (A) The economic superiority of large machinery over small farm implements
  • (B) The targeted, site-specific optimization of agricultural inputs through precision technology
  • (C) The complete elimination of chemical fertilizers in modern sustainable farming
  • (D) The history and development of satellite positioning systems

Answer Key:

B

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

**Method 1: Central Idea Extraction** The passage explicitly defines precision agriculture as tailoring inputs to specific spatial zones within a field rather than uniform application, thereby improving efficiency and reducing environmental waste. Option **B** accurately captures this core thesis.
