Long day plants are a type of plant that require long periods of daylight to initiate flowering and short night time.

In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons remain underground and provide the necessary nutrients for the plant to grow.

Epigeal germination is a process where the cotyledons are pushed above the soil surface and become the first photosynthetic organs of plant.

Dicots, also known as dicotyledons, are a group of flowering plants characterized by having two cotyledons in their embryonic stage.

Cropping system is a term used to describe the method of planting, growing, and harvesting crops in a particular area.
