Row crop
Crop that can be planted in rows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A row crop is a crop that can be planted in rows wide enough to allow it to be tilled or otherwise cultivated by agricultural machinery, machinery tailored for the seasonal activities of row crops.[1] Such crops are sown by drilling or transplanting rather than broadcasting. Growing row crops first started in Ancient China in the 6th century BC.[2]
