Classification of Crops based on Life Cycle
Life cycle means a period from germination to harvesting. Based on these, crops are classified into four groups and these are:
1. Annual Crops
These are crops that complete their life cycle within one year eg rice, cowpea, millet, groundnut, maize etc
2. Biennial Crops
These are crops which complete their life cycle within two years eg carrot, pineapple, ginger, etc.
3. Perennial Crops
These are crops which complete their life cycle in more than two years eg mango, rubber, citrus, oil palm etc
4. Ephemeral Crops
These are crops that complete their life cycle within a very short time (probably within three months) eg amaranthus, tomatoes, spinach, celosia, etc.
