Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A farmer in Jamaica noticed that the leaves of his callaloo plants were being eaten by caterpillars. He released ladybirds into the field to control the pest population. Which type of pest control method is the farmer using?

  1. Chemical control
  2. Biological control
  3. Cultural control
  4. Mechanical control
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Biological control
Award 1 mark for identifying that biological control uses living organisms to control pests. A is incorrect — chemical control involves the use of pesticides. C is incorrect — cultural control involves farming practices such as crop rotation. D is incorrect — mechanical control involves physical removal or barriers.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student investigating seed germination placed pigeon pea seeds in sterile culture medium containing plant hormones. After two weeks, the seeds developed into small plantlets with roots and shoots. This technique is an example of:

  1. Selective breeding
  2. Tissue culture
  3. Genetic engineering
  4. Artificial insemination
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Tissue culture
Award 1 mark for identifying that tissue culture involves growing plant material in sterile medium with hormones. A is incorrect — selective breeding involves choosing parents with desired traits. C is incorrect — genetic engineering involves direct manipulation of DNA. D is incorrect — artificial insemination is an animal reproduction technique.

CXC CSEC Integrated Science: Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Integrated Science questions on Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology for CXC CSEC Integrated Science, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Integrated Science?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology practice with other Integrated Science topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Integrated Science syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Integrated Science specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology typically tested on CXC CSEC Integrated Science papers?
Food Production: Agriculture, Pest Control and Biotechnology appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Integrated Science papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
