We should look carefully for the two different words.

planted vs grown

Radish is half-hardy, can grow in cool weather.
But should be planted in the spring.

Radishes could be planted all winter -> Wrong. only can be planted in the spring.

Question 2
1. In one growing season (made up of the three growing periods), ACME organic farm is able to harvest all of the 10 vegetables listed in the crop table.

In Tab 3, we can see it being mentioned that only one type of the ten veggies can be planted per growing period. There are three growing periods per season. So, it will definitely be difficult to grow all the crops in one growing season. Thus, NO.

2. If one acre of each vegetable listed in the crop table is harvested at ACME organic farm, the total weight of the leaf parts harvested will be greater than the total weight of all other parts harvested.
Leafy Avg. Yield: 24000+50000+ 35000
= 109,500
Others Avg Yield: 20000+6000+ 25000+ 16500+ 11000+ 18000+ 10000
= 86,500
Thus, YES.

3. At ACME organic farm, none of the tender vegetables listed in the crop table can be grown in area 2.
Cucumber can be grown in Area 2. Thus, NO.

Question 3
1. Radishes could be planted all winter in a location that only has short periods of frost during the winter.

Radish is a half hardy vegetable. So, we check Tab 2.

[color=#0f0f0f]Half-hardy vegetables require .... These should be planted in the spring, about 2-4 weeks before the frost date. [/color]

[color=#0f0f0f]difference between could and should, therefore, Not Supported.[/color]

[color=#0f0f0f]2.Sweet corn must be grown in a location with no frost during the year.[/color]

[color=#0f0f0f]Sweet Corn is a tender vegetable.[/color]

[color=#0f0f0f]Tender vegetables need more .... Any frost will kill them, so they should be planted on or after the frost date, which usually occurs in late spring or early summer. [/color]

Being planted on or after the frost dates does not imply the location not having any frost throughout the year.

Thus, Not Supported.

3.[color=#000000]Beets can be grown all winter in a location that provides at least 4 hours of sun and only short periods of frost.[/color]

[color=#000000]Beet is a hardy vegetable.[/color]

[color=#000000]Hardy vegetables require .... In areas with short periods of frost, hardy vegetables can be grown all winter. [/color]

[color=#000000]Thus, Supported.[/color]

Sajjad1994 Why isn't the answer for Q1 : Celery -> Cucumber -> Beets . I see no options for this; Beets have a larger yield than onions in the hardy vegetable group and meet the criterion for Area 2 for - light and moderate weed rating.

For a beat, hardy vegetable, it is also mentioned min of 3hr sun, but it says 4hr, so why is it still supported?

Vegetable selections for answer options 3 and 5 can be planted in Area 2 (note that each vegetable has either low susceptibility or moderate susceptibility to weeds). What separates the two options is the yield. Cucumber and onion is common to both answer options so their yield's cancel out. Celery (50,000 average yield) has more yield than fennel (35,000 average yield). Hence answer option 3 is the answer.

For question 1

I'm struggling to understand why we're picking Cucumber over Lettuce, when the average yield for Lettuce is greater than that of Cucumber

Lettuce can not be selected because Lettuce has high susceptibility to weeds. Only vegetables with low or moderate susceptibility to weeds can be planted in Area 2.

Q2 solution
st1) No-we have only one kind of period-area combination that supports tender plants with high weed susceptibility but 3 plants that require this
(pepper,lettuce,sweetcorn) therefore all 10 cannot be grown in one season
st2) Yes - sum of yields of leafy >> sum of yields of non leafy by ~2000
st3) No- we can grow cucumber in area 2 which is tender+ moderate weed susceptibility i.e meets requirement of area 2

How much time should this question ideally take? and are there any strategies through which we can identify the MSR will be long and skip it?

Please provide OE. Especially for Q2 and Q3, some of whose statements are tough.
And given that on average 80+% of us got it wrong.

Also, for a MSR 605-655 level question, it is very hard and time consuming.

I suggest ignoring this question. Archiving.
