ANNUAL CROP is a plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to production of seed, within one growing season, and then dies. Annual crops examples are rice, corn and others
BIENNIAL CROP
is a plant that takes two years to complete its biological lifecycle. Its examples are cabbage, parsley and others.
PERENNIAL 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. The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.

AGRICULTURAL CROPS
AND IT'S CLASSIFICATION
Agricultural crops are plants that are grown or intentionally managed by man for certain purposes. They are classified in various terms used worldwide.
INDUSTRIAL CROPS
TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS
A plant that is cultured for their biological materials which are used in industrial processes into nonedible products. (Example: Tobacco)
FOOD CROPS A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for the human consumption. It has two sub categories, the field crops and root crops.
CLASSIFICATION
CROPS ACCORDING TO GROWTH HABITS
HERBS
VINES $500 - $5,000+
ROOT CROPS
are underground plant parts edible for human consumption.
- plants that develop from a seed or a spore after undergoing union of male and female gametes.
CLASSIFICATION
FEED CROPS A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for the livestock consumption.
SEXUAL
SUCCULENT PLANTS WITH SELFSUPPORTING STEMS.
HERBACEOUS CLIMBING OR TWINING PLANTS WITHOUT SELFSUPPORTING STEM.
SHRUBS
LIANAS
ACCORDING TO THEIR REPRODUCTION
ASEXUAL
– plants which reproduce by any vegetative means without the union of the sexual gametes.
CLASSIFICATION OF CROPS
FIELD CROPS
A SMALL TREE OR TREE LIKE PLANTS GENERALLY LESS THAN 5 METERS IN HEIGHT BUT OTHER AUTHORITIES RESTRICTED TO SMALL, ERECT WOODY PLANTS.
is a crop (other than fruits or vegetables) that is grown on a large scale for agricultural purposes. These crops typically consist of a large majority of agricultural acreage and crop revenues.
EVERGREEN
WOODY CLIMBING OR TWINING PLANTS WHICH DEPEND ON $1,000 OTHER PLANTS FOR VERTICAL SUPPORT TO CLIMB UP$20,000+ TO THE TREE.
ORNAMENTAL CROPS
A plant that is primarily raise and culture for decorative purposes especially in gardens and landscape design projects.
NATURALLY SELF POLLINATED CROPS PREDOMINANT MODE OF POLLINATION IN THIS PLANT IS SELFPOLLINATION.
TREES
FIBER CROPS A plant that is primarily raise, culture and harvest for its fibers which are used as raw material
ACCORDING TO MODE OF POLLINATION
LIGHTING PLANTS THAT MAINTAIN THEIR LEAVES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
PLANTS HAVING ERECT AND CONTINUOUS GROWTH WITH A LARGE DEVELOP OF WOODY TISSUE, WITH A SINGLE DISTINCT STEM OR TRUNK.
DECIDUOUS
PLANTS WHICH NATURALLY SHED OFF OR LOSE LEAVES ANNUALLY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS.
$500 $5,000+
NATURALLY CROSS POLLINATED CROPS POLLEN TRANSFER IN THESE PLANTS IS FROM ANOTHER OF ONE FLOWER IN A SEPARATE PLANT
BOTH SELF AND CROSS POLLINATION CROPS THESE PLANTS ARE LARGELY SELF-POLLINATED BUT IN VARYING AMOUNTS.
