Adolf Engler

Adolf Engler was a notable German botanist and agricultural chemist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his work on the classification of plants and his contributions to understanding plant physiology and chemistry. Engler developed key taxonomic systems that help scientists categorize and understand plant species, which is crucial in agriculture for crop improvement and pest management. His research laid the groundwork for modern plant science and influenced how we study the relationship between plants and the environment, ultimately benefiting agricultural practices and food production.
