Lifecycle 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

EVALUATION
