cultivated plants - essential part of the plant kingdom. They originated from wild species. The varietal richness of cultivated plants is due to the needs of people and the biological diversity in nature, from which a person selected useful plant species for himself in order to cultivate them. Man contributed to the spread of cultivated plants in different regions of the planet (often very far from their centers of origin).
GIFTS OF THE OLD WORLD
The gifts of the Old World are not only bread and vegetables, but also fruit plants, as well as those from which people received numerous spices and seasonings (black pepper, nutmeg, bay leaf, cloves, mustard, parsley, dill, mint, anise, etc.). .d.)
WHEAT
WHEAT - native to the Mediterranean.
Wheat is grown in two varieties - durum and soft. They differ in the protein and carbohydrate composition of the grain. From durum wheat flour - bread, pasta. The dough made from soft wheat flour is friable, easily torn, but unusually tasty pies and wheat porridge are obtained from it.
RYE.
RYE first came into cultivation as a wheat weed. It was very difficult to separate weed rye seeds from sowing wheat. In the northern regions, wheat often died in the fields, while its companion, rye, survived. People fed on its grain and eventually recognized it as a valuable crop.
GRAPE
Grape
GRAPES - the second crop after wheat in antiquity and distribution. His homeland is Transcaucasia and Asia Minor. Wild grapes grow around tall trees. Cultivated grapes are cultivated in the form of bushes, cutting off its branches - vines.
BANANA - GIANT GRASS.
BANANA is a tall, sometimes gigantic (up to 15 m) herbaceous plant with a powerful rhizome, a hardened thick stem and a false trunk formed by huge sheaths of large leaves.
GIFTS OF THE NEW WORLD
Such valuable plants were brought to Eurasia and Africa: potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, beans, cocoa and tomatoes (or tomatoes).
POTATO
It is hard to imagine, but only 250 years ago in Russia no one was eating potatoes. The ancestors of the American Indians many centuries ago on the plateau
cultivated plants
In nature, all plants are divided into wild and cultivated. Cultivated plants are those plants that humans grow. If a gardener transplants wild raspberries to his site, takes care of her and collects fruits, then such raspberries will be called cultivated. If clover grows in natural meadows, it is a wild grass. But it can also become cultural if it is sown and nurtured by a person. So it is with every plant.
Man cultivates plants for food, animal feed, medicine, industrial raw materials, or ornamental purposes.
Scientists say that man began to cultivate plants many thousands of years ago. Accumulating knowledge, he passed on his observations to the next generation, gradually improving the properties of plants, classifying them and creating new species. So, about 15 thousand years ago, the science of growing cultivated plants by man appeared - plant growing.
Later, breeding arose - a science with the help of which new varieties of cultivated plants are created by selecting for signs of resistance to diseases and pests, frost and drought resistance, productivity, and taste of fruits. As a result of selection, many varieties of cultivated plants have been created. For example, there are about 2 thousand varieties of apples.
There are several types of classification of cultivated plants. Popular is the classification by industry: field: cereals (wheat, barley, oats); cereals (rice, millet, buckwheat); legumes (beans, soybeans, peas); oilseeds (sunflower, mustard); spinning (kenaf, fiber flax, cotton); fodder (Sudanese, clover); gourds (pumpkin, melon, watermelon)
Vegetables: root vegetables (carrots, beets) and tubers (potatoes); leafy (cabbage, arugula, spinach); stem (rhubarb, sorrel); fruit (cucumber, tomatoes); bulbous (garlic, onion); spicy aromatic (parsley, cilantro, dill);
Fruit and berry: pome (apple, quince, pear); stone fruit (cherry, cherry, apricot, peach, plum); nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, Walnut); citrus fruits (tangerine, lemon, orange); berry (raspberries, currants, strawberries, grapes); decorative (floriculture).
More than 400 species of cultivated plants originated from South Asia, from North and South America, Europe - about 200 species, from Africa - about 50.
Homeland of cultivated plants Central Europe - wheat, peas, beans and lentils, flax; Mediterranean - carrots, cabbage, beets, radishes, turnips, onions; India and Indochina - rice, citrus fruits, tea; South and Central America - corn, potatoes, tomato, pumpkin, beans and capsicum, tobacco, sweet potato, pineapple, peanut, cocoa; North America - sunflower; Africa - coffee, barley.
The migration of cultivated plants from continent to continent began especially actively during the period of the Great Geographical Discoveries (since the 15th century).

As if the flowerbed began to guard,
Very bright and cheerful
It means "sword" in Latin.

cultivated plants-
plants grown by humans for food products, feed in agriculture, drugs, industrial and other raw materials and other purposes.
Classification of cultivated plants according to Kuptsov
- 1. Cereal crops.
These are the three main cereal plants: rice, wheat, corn and secondary breads - barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum.
- 2. Starch plants : potatoes in countries temperate climate, sweet potato, yams, taro - in more southern areas.
- 3. Pulses:
beans, peas, lentils.
- 4. Sugar crops: sugar beet and sugar cane.
- 5. Fibrous Plants: cotton, flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, which provide a person with clothing and technical fabrics.
- 6. Fruit and berry crops : apple trees, pears, plums, etc.
- 7. Spicy aromatic and tonic plants, without which the modern human diet is impossible.
- 8. Industrial or industrial crops- sources of rubber, medicines, tannins, corks.
- 9. Forage plants ,
on which modern animal husbandry is based.
- 10. Oilseeds: mustard, peanuts, sunflower, etc.
Division according to branches of agriculture
Experts distinguish groups of cultivated plants according to the type of agricultural activity:
- fruit growing,
- vegetable growing,
- field cultivation.
field varieties
- This group of plants includes grain crops (cereals- rye, wheat, legumes- lentils, soybeans, peas, cereal varieties- millet, buckwheat, root vegetables (turnips, beets), tubers(potato), spinning(hemp, flax, cotton), oilseeds(mustard, peanuts, sunflower), fodder grasses(alfalfa, clover).
fruit varieties
- This group includes crops that produce juicy fruits. They, in turn, are divided into stone fruits(apricot, plum, cherry) pome e (quince, pear, apple tree), berry(currant, strawberry, raspberry, strawberry). In the same group, in some cases, include citrus(orange, lemon) nut-bearing(hazelnut, almond, walnut). In fruit and berry, a subgroup is sometimes distinguished subtropical varieties. These include, in particular, medlar, pomegranate, figs. Crops such as wild rose, sea buckthorn and others are considered close to fruit and berry crops. vitamin-bearing.
vegetable varieties
- Vegetable crops are herbaceous plants grown for heads, root crops, bulbs, leaves, fruits. Cultivated 120 species vegetable plants. The most common of them belong to 10 families: cruciferous - cabbage, swede, turnip, radish, radish, horseradish, watercress; umbrella - carrots, parsley, parsnips, celery, dill; pumpkin - cucumber, pumpkin, melon, watermelon; nightshade - tomato, pepper, eggplant, physalis; legumes - peas, beans, beans; lily - onion, garlic, asparagus; Compositae - lettuce, chicory, artichoke, tarragon; haze - beets, spinach; buckwheat - rhubarb, sorrel; cereals - corn.
