What is the primary purpose of a defoliant in agriculture?

To increase plant growth
To improve soil quality
To promote flowering in plants
To cause leaves to fall off plants to aid in harvesting

The correct answer is: To cause leaves to fall off plants to aid in harvesting

A defoliant is a chemical substance used in agriculture to cause the leaves of plants to fall off. This can help make harvesting easier and more efficient. Option A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the main purpose of defoliant in agriculture. It is not intended to increase plant growth, improve soil quality, or promote flowering in plants. While these may be some secondary effects of defoliant, the primary purpose is to aid in harvesting.
