vegetable crops

Edible plant yields

Vegetable crops are plants cultivated for their edible parts—roots, leaves, stems, fruits, or seeds—harvested for human consumption rather than grain or animal fodder.

The term appears in agricultural and economic contexts: Vegetable crops suffered from the late frost.

It encompasses everything from leafy greens to tomatoes to root vegetables, distinguished from fruit orchards and field crops like wheat or corn.
