TOPIC: CLASSIFICATION OF SPECIFIC CROPS

 

In the last three lessons, we have been looking at various ways to classify crops. We learnt that to classify means to put into groups. We also learnt that different criteria can be used to classify objects. For crop plants, they can be classified according to;
