seed crops
Grain and legumes
Seed crops are plants grown primarily to produce seeds for future planting rather than for immediate consumption or processing.
Farmers cultivate seed crops under controlled conditions to maintain genetic purity and high germination rates: The company contracts with growers to produce seed crops for commercial distribution.
The term also applies to the harvested seeds themselves.
