There are a number of different purposes and uses of the crops. The crops and cropping systems can be classified in a number of different ways based on a long list of categories. Previously we have discussed ' Botanical classification of plants ' and ' Agronomic Use classification of the crops '. Now, we will discuss a classification of crops based on their use in the field in different cropping systems; Crop Classification based on Purpose in field (article cover) 1. Catch crops or Contingent Crops Catch crops are cultivated in the field to catch the forthcoming season.

Hence, these crops are cultivated in the field for a number of reason; � They are fast growth rate and short duration crops. � They can be easily harvested or used in the field at any desired time (for example, as green manure). � They are easily adaptable to the season, soil and fa

Fungi are small, generally microscopic, eukaryotic, usually filamentous, branched, spore-bearing organisms that lack chlorophyll. Fungi have cell walls that contain chitin and glucans (but no cellulose) as the skeletal components. What is Phylogenetic Classification? A classification based on the evolutionary relationships is known as Phylogenetic classification . A taxon (plural; taxa) is any category of classification. IMPORTANCE Although classification can be done on the basis of any criteria but classifying on the basis of phylogenetic relationships aid us �   in understanding the evolutionary changes and �   allow one to make prediction on the basis of what is known about an organism and its close relatives. Traditional Classification of Fungi u   In the 2 kingdom system of classification , fungi were placed under kingdom Plantae . Modern Classification of Fungi u   According to Hawksworth et al ., 1995 and Alexopoulos and Mims, 1979: The organisms once considered fungi are now
