Plants getting bigger
Crop growth is the process by which cultivated plants develop from seed to maturity.
The term appears in agricultural and economic contexts discussing factors that affect harvests: Favorable weather conditions have supported strong crop growth this season.
It encompasses stages from germination through flowering and fruit production, and serves as an indicator of agricultural productivity and food security.
