Crop: Plants grown for human use, such as food, fiber, or other products.
Think of crops as the plants we cultivate for a specific purpose. Whether it’s the vegetables in your garden that you eat, the cotton grown for clothing, or the flowers grown for their beauty, these are all considered crops. They are plants that we intentionally grow and harvest for our benefit.
In your home garden, you likely grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs that you use for cooking or enjoy fresh. Choosing the right crops for your climate and soil conditions is essential for a successful garden. Understanding the needs of your chosen crops, from watering and fertilizing to pest and disease control, is key to a bountiful harvest.
