Introduction: CROP or PLANT PHYSIOLOGY?
Plants are multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotic life-forms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. Crops are plants grown in large quantities for food or other commercial purposes (involving profits and subsistence). All crops are plants, but not all plants are crops
This video provides a foundational understanding of crop physiology, the science that explores how plants function, grow, and reproduce. 🌿 We'll delve into the vital processes that drive plant development and productivity, with a focus on optimizing crop yields.
What you'll learn:
Plants vs. Crops: We'll clarify the distinction between plants and crops, highlighting the unique characteristics and economic importance of crops in agriculture.
Plant Growth and Development: Explore the fascinating journey of a plant from seed to maturity, including cell division, growth, and specialization into organs like stems, leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
Crop Physiology Fundamentals: We'll define crop physiology and its core focus areas: understanding plant processes, functions, and responses to the environment.
The Goal of Crop Physiology: Discover how crop physiology research aims to unravel the complex mechanisms behind plant growth, development, and productivity, ultimately leading to improved agricultural practices and increased yields.
