what is a crop . and what are tje characteristic
Answers
Crop characteristics which define potential yields include physiological and phenological traits. The physical environment and management can influence these characteristics. However, the response of the crop and thus its potential yield under optimum conditions is genetically determined.
Answer:
Explanation:
Crops are living plants grown by farmers. Most crops are foods such as grain, vegetables, or fruit. Some crops are for drugs, such as quinine, or fibers such as cotton, or other materials such as rubber or wood. Farms are usually made to grow just one kind of crop.
Crop characteristics
Crop characteristics which define potential yields include physiological and phenological traits. The physical environment and management can influence these characteristics. However, the response of the crop and thus its potential yield under optimum conditions is genetically determined. Crop characteristics vary between varieties. Cocoa varieties are often classified into three groups: Criollo, Trinitario, and Forastero. The Criollo varieties have been praised for their fine flavor; however, they lack vigor, yield poorly, and are reported to be extremely susceptible to pests and diseases. Forastero varieties are much more vigorous and hardy than Criollos. Trinitario is generally assumed to have originated as a cross between Criollo and Forastero, and many of its features are intermediate between the two. Owing to their preferred crop characteristics leading to high productivity, Forastero varieties now account for about 80% of global production.
