AGSC 231 Principles of Agronomy CLASSIFICATION OF CROPS By S.K. Yau (revised Feb 2010)

Outline of lecture Classifications based on: Agronomic type On-farm use Climatic adaptation Life cycle Botanical

Agronomic Classification Category Cereal Pulse Forage Oil Sugar Fiber Drug Rubber Root Tuber Spice Biofuel

Agronomic Classification Category Cereal Pulse Forage Oil Sugar Fiber Drug Rubber Root Tuber Spice Biofuel Cereal – grasses grown for their edible seeds (for human consumption) Pulse – legumes grown for their edible seeds. Legumes can fix nitrogen (N) (by the symbiotic N-fixing bacteria in the nodules formed in their roots)nodules Forage – for animal consumption, e.g., pasture for grazing or crops cut for hay or silage. Can be grasses, legumes, or other families

Forage: vegetation used as feed; can be grasses, legumes, or other crops Pasture: Fodder: Hay: Silage: field of grass, legume, or other herbaceous forage plants for animals grazing maize, sorghum, or other coarse grasses harvested when still green and dried for forage grasses or comparatively fine- stemmed plants cut when still green and dried for forage Forage preserved in a succulent condition by fermentation in an air-tight place

Classification based on climatic adaptation Tropical crops Temperate crops From warm climates Can be killed by temperature slightly below freezing, or even at above freezing if exposed for prolonged period. Most have a short-day response. Examples: maize, sorghum, sugarcane, peanut, cowpeas, soy beans. From cool climates Grow best in relatively cool conditions with marked winter season. Usually can withstand cold up to flowering. May require a period of winter weather in order to flower. Most have a long day response. Examples: barley, wheat, rye, field peas.

Classification based on on-farm use Cover, catch, trap, and companion crops Cover crops: Provide a cover for the soil (erosion control). Usually has a second purpose, e.g., plow under while still green would be a green-manure crop. Legumes or legume/cereal mixture usually used.

Catch crops: They are used when the regular crop has failed or not been planted on time. Short season crops are used, e.g., spring barley planted when winter barley failed.

Trap crops: They are planted to attract insects or parasites. Will be plowed under once served their purposes, e.g., Orobanche control.

Companion (nurse) crops: Seeds of some crop species, e.g., medics, will not germinate in the first year of sowing (a condition called hard seededness). To secure a return from the land, a companion crop (e.g., cereal) is usually sown together in the first year.

Classification Based on Life Cycle Annuals, biennials, & perennials Annuals (short-lived): complete entire life cycle from seed to seed in a single growing season and then die. Major crops of the world. Example: rice, wheat.

Biennials normally take two complete growing seasons to complete life cycle. First year only vegetative growth and store food reserves in storage organ. Second year give flowers and fruits. Example: sugar beets

Perennials: Indefinite life-cycle. Some species may die back to the ground each winter, but revive from the roots the following spring, e.g., alfalfa. Some species, especially tropical forms, e.g., tomato & cotton, grown as perennials in the tropics, but temperate forms are usually annuals.

Botanical Classification All field crops belong to spermatophyte division (reproduction is carried on by seed) Common crops belong to Angiosperm subdivision (ovules enclosed in an ovary wall) 2 classes: monocotyledonsdicotyledons all grasses: cereals, sugarcanelegumes & others order family e.g. graminea leguminosae genusTriticum species aestivum Binomial system of nomenclature: Genus and species (in italic when typed or underlined in hand writing) e.g., Triticum aestivum or Triticum aestivum

Summary Classification: Agronomic: cereal, legume, forage, oil, sugar, fiber, drug, rubber, root, tuber, spice, etc. On-farm use: cover, catch, trap, & companion Climatic adaptation: tropical & temperate Life cycle: annual, biennial, & perennial Botanical
