Abstract

Afghanistan is an agricultural country where most crops such as wheat, rice, corn, beans, chickpeas, mung bean, sorghum, bean, etc. are grown. Afghanistan's climate is favorable for the cultivation of these plants and the country's economy also depends on these plants.

Field crops have played a major role in human history and throughout history have saved humans from hunger and famine, so knowing the origins of its production helps in the sustainability of human food and food security in the world. The world's population is growing, which is answered only by scientific agriculture and the use of technology.

Field crops are very diverse and are consumed in different ways and there are many differences in agricultural operations. Field crops have many commonalities, so crops can be classified into different types such as plant characteristics, purpose of production and consumption, plant longevity, ‌ environmental needs and favorable development conditions, agricultural operations and so on. Because these classifications are based on the common characteristics of their members. Some agricultural decisions may apply to all members of a group, thus facilitating the production process for them. Note that these classifications are not absolute. Also, agricultural products with different characteristics and multi-purpose production may be in two or more different groups. Some categories are introduced below.

The classification of field crops cooperates in introducing plants and identifying the relationships between them, and known plants are used for various purposes.
