DIFFERENT NAMES AND TITLES OF CROPS — GENERAL AGRICULTURE
In exams and interviews, you may be asked about the different names and titles of crops. This blog aims to assist you with that.
Why do we need other names?
There is no definitive answer to why we need crop names like this, but there are a few possible reasons. Let’s take the example of the “King of Cereal.”
A reason for using a simplified term like "the kings of cereal" is to make communication about various crops easier. Instead of listing out wheat, rice, corn, and barley, this term can be helpful in brief conversations or when speaking to someone unfamiliar with cereal crops.
One reason for designating a particular crop as the "king of cereal" is to emphasize its significance. For instance, if wheat is given this distinction, it signifies that it is a crucial crop that plays a vital role in our food supply. This can be instrumental in creating awareness about the importance of agriculture and food security.
Celebrating the diversity of cereal crops is another purpose that can be served. With each type of cereal crop having its own distinct qualities and advantages, granting them "royal" designations can demonstrate their significance and worth.
