Classification of Plants

Classification of plants is based on botanical techniques and agricultural techniques. The botanical techniques where all plants are grouped into plant kingdom based mainly on structure, function and evolutionary  trends is not very useful to  a farmer. The agricultural techniques involve nature of the products and life cycle. Hence plant can be classified based on the following:

(i) Botanical classification

(ii) Nature and uses of products

(iii) Life cycle

 

(a) Botanical Classification of Plants

This is the classification system of flora and fauna that uses the binomial system of nomenclature in which every plant is given two names (generic and specific names). The generic names are always written first starting with capital letter while the Last which is the specific names are written in small letters.
