Agri Lesson 4 Flashcards
A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for the human consumption.
Food Crops
Type of food crop: is a crop (other than fruits or vegetables) that is grown on a large scale for agricultural purposes. Examples are wheat, rice, corn, sugarcane and other forage crops.
Field crop
Type of food crop: are underground plant parts edible for human
consumption.
Root Crops
A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for the livestock consumption.
Feed Crops
A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for its fibers which are used as raw material.
Fiber Crops
A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest as base for biodiesel production.
Oil Crops
A plant that is primarily raise and culture for
decorative purposes especially in gardens and landscape design projects
Ornamental Crops
A plant that is cultured for their biological materials which are used in industrial processes into nonedible products.
(Example: Tobacco)
Industrial Crops
plants that develop from a seed or a spore after undergoing union of male and female gametes. (Classification of Crops according to reproduction)
Sexual
plants which reproduce by any vegetative means without the union of the sexual gametes. (Classification of Crops according to reproduction)
Asexual
predominant mode of pollination in
this plant is self-pollination. (Classification of Crops according to mode of pollination)
Naturally Self Pollinated Crops
pollen transfer in these plants is
from another of one flower in a separate plant.
(Classification of Crops according to mode of pollination)
Naturally Cross Pollinated Crops
these plants are largely self
pollinated but in varying amounts. (Classification of Crops according to mode of pollination)
Both Self and Cross Pollination Crops
succulent plants with self-supporting stems. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Herb
herbaceous climbing or twining plants without self-supporting stem. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Vines
woody climbing or twining plants which depend on other plants for vertical support to climb up to the tree. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Lianas
a small tree or tree like plants generally less than 5 meters in height but other authorities restricted to small, erect woody plants. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Shrubs
plants having erect and continuous growth with a large develop of woody tissue, with a single distinct stem or trunk. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Trees
plants that maintain their leaves throughout the year. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Evergreen
plants which naturally shed off or lose leaves annually for extended periods. (Classifications of Crops According to Growth Habits)
Deciduous
is a plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to production of seed, within one growing season, and then dies. Ex: rice corn (according to Life span)
Annual crop
is a plant that takes two years to complete its biological lifecycle. Its examples are cabbage, parsley and others. (according to Life span)
Biennial crop
is a plant that lives more than two years. The term is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials. (according to Life span)
Perennial crop
