Crop Varieties

Crop varieties refer to different types of a specific plant species that have been bred or selected for particular traits, such as yield, disease resistance, or climate adaptability. For example, within the species of rice, there are various varieties that may thrive better in wet climates or provide higher nutrition. Farmers choose specific varieties based on local conditions and market demands to maximize productivity and quality. This diversity helps ensure food security and resilience against pests, diseases, and climate change by allowing different plants to survive under varying environmental challenges.
