Greening: Crop lists for the crop diversification rules Use these crop lists and the leaflet ‘Greening: Work out what it means for you’ to find out what you’ll need to grow (and over what area) to meet the crop diversification rules. For crop diversification, the regulations say that a ‘crop’ is: a) a culture of any of the different genera defined in the botanical classification of crops (see below) b) a culture of any of the species in the case of Brassicaceae, Solanaceae, and Cucurbitaceae (see below). These botanical ‘families’ include large numbers of agricultural crops within them, so crops falling under these headings are defined at the level of the species rather than the genus. c) land lying fallow (the ‘Greening: Work out what it means for you’ leaflet has more information on fallow land) d) grasses or other herbaceous forage (the ‘Greening: Work out what it means for you’ leaflet has more information) Winter and springThis crops countleaflet as separate has crops. been archived.
