2. Why classification of horticultural crop
important?? 2080
• The reasons behind the classification of horticultural crops
are:
It makes us easier to discuss and study the horticultural
crops in general.
It helps to understand the principle of cultivation of
horticultural crops.
It helps us to know the nature and biology
(morphology, physiology etc.) of horticultural crops.
It helps us to know the season of cultivation of a
particular horticultural crops i.e. the right time of
sowing & their temperature requirement, pH, life span,
growth habit, parts consumed etc..
3. • A few crops have similarity while others have
dissimilarity in their climatic and soil
requirements,parts used, method of cultivation
etc.
• While describing horticultural crops, there is
possibility of repetition in many aspects.In
order to avoid repetition, it is essential to
classify or group into different classes/groups.
