| Definition | The crop types can be ordered in different ways. The here applied manner aims to focus on the form of the crop, or which part of the plant is harvested. This crop type list follows a compromise between botanical aspects and commonly used aspects to group crops by their apparent form. The latter aspect does not always go conform with botanical hierarchy. For example almonds or coconuts botanically belong to stone fruit, but are grouped here with “nuts”, because they are called so and not the flesh of fruit but the core is the targeted part of the fruit. Olives are also stone fruits, grapes are a sort of berries but both of them receive a stand-alone position because of their outstanding importance in European crop production. Further, this crop type list tries to avoid naming crops after the aspect of their cultivation purpose but instead categorizes them according to the part of the plant that is the harvest target. Cultivation purpose was given its own matrix segment. |
