• . Climate – It refers to the atmospheric condition during a specific interval of time. Climate plays an important role in growing crops.
• . Soil – Good soil should be considered carefully in selecting a location where to plant your vegetables. Agricultural soil with proper treatment will produce good crops or vegetables.
• Drainage – This refers to the process or the ability of the soil to remove water or liquid. Soil drainage, or how well the soil holds water, is determined by soil texture as well as other elements in the soil. 
• Sunlight – To produce healthy and high-quality vegetables, the garden should be in an area where there is plenty of sunlight.
• . Appropriate Planting Calendar – Growing vegetables require different types of soil and climatic conditions for their optimum growth and development.
• Horticultural - relating to the art or practice of garden cultivation and management.
• Agronomics - the branch of economics dealing with the distribution, management, and productivity of land
• Crops - a cultivated plant that is grown as food, especially a grain, fruit, or vegetable.
• Agricultural crops refer to crops that are harvested upon maturity, and consumed by both humans and animals in either living state (raw or fresh) or dried. These crops are grown in fields, pastures, ranges, forests, and plantations. Cereal or grain crops, legumes, oilseed crops, pasture and forage crops, sugar crops, starchy roots, and tuber crops are examples of agronomic crops.
• . Horticultural crops refer to crops that are harvested at different stages and often consumed fresh or raw. Vegetable crops, fruit crops and edible nuts, ornamental crops, nursery crops, aromatic crops, and medicinal crops are examples of horticultural crops.
• Cash crops or Commercial crops are grown and sold locally or internationally. These crops are planted and sold to support the needs of the family
• . Subsistence crops are grown for family consumption only. The best examples are rice and root crops. These crops can also be consumed by animal farms.
• Export crops are grown and sold to other countries
• Industrial crops are produced to provide raw materials for industrial production or for the production of fuel for energy purposes.
• Plantation crops are mass-produced. Huge tracks of land are planted with crops that are either sold to local or international market. Examples of these crops are banana, pineapple, and sugarcane, among others.
• High value crops are grown because of their high value both in local or international market. Examples of these are fruits and ornamental plants
• Herb is a nonwoody, nonpermanent plant. Examples are grass and spices like ginger and onion.
• Shrub is a woody plant that has a number of stems growing directly from the soil. It does not grow very tall. Examples are gumamela, rose, and rosal flowers.
• Tree is a permanent woody plant that has a self-supporting stem. Examples are coconut tree, fruit tree, and forest trees.
• . Vine is a crawling plant. Its body and stems are not hard enough to make it stand. It spreads on the ground or clings to some structures for support. Examples of vines are bitter gourd, squash, and yellow bell.
• Farming - the activity or business of growing crops and raising livestock
• Crop production – is the process of growing crops for domestic and commercial
• Agronomy – refers to the production of field crops such as rice and corn on a large or commercial scale
• . Horticulture – deals with the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental trees.
• Fruit culture – is involved in fruit production (trees, shrubs, and vines). It is a branch of horticulture that with the production, storage processing, and marketing of fruits.
• . Floriculture – is a specialized field that deals with the study and production flower
• Arboriculture – is the cultivation of trees and shrubs for decorative purposes.
• Perennial – is a plant that has indefinite life period. It grows for several years producing a new crop of seed each year. Examples are mango, guava
• Dry Farming – It is practiced where rainfall is slight and irrigation is impractical. It involves the use of soil moisture conservation and drought-resistant crops.
• Greenhouse Culture – It is the growing of plants throughout the year, even during winter or hot season. Tropical and subtropical plants are grown together in a building called a greenhouse. The temperature and climatic conditions inside the greenhouse is controlled to fit the required growth conditions of the plant.
• Hydroponics or Tank Farming – The growing of plants without soil is called tank farming or hydroponics. A solution of chemical compound is used to provide the necessary nutrients required for plant growth.
• Irrigation Farming – An irrigation system is used to distribute water to all parts of the land. Irrigation is very important for crops like rice and corn. There are two types of irrigation system: the ground sprinkler and overhead type. The water source may be a stream. Overhead sprinklers is more expensive although water can be spread in a greater area and the pipes are less subject to corrosion.
• Organic Gardening – It is the growing of plants without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
• Mixed or Integrated Farming – This involves the growing of different crops in one place to maximize the use of land. Examples are rice and fish culture, onion and strawberry, rose and onion, coconut, ginger, and pepper.
• Agriculture - the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products
• Farming - the activity or business of growing crops and raising livestock.
• . Economic Classification – Examples: commercial and subsistence farming
• Chemistry -the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances
• Biotechnology - the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.
• Management - the process of dealing with or controlling things or people
