How does classification help address problems in farming? [Pg. No. 228]

Classification helps in farming by allowing farmers and scientists to identify plants, pests, weeds and disease-causing organisms correctly. Once an organism is identified and grouped, its characteristics, life cycle and effects can be studied more easily. This helps in choosing suitable crop varieties, controlling pests and diseases, identifying useful organisms like nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and managing harmful weeds. Thus, classification makes farming more scientific and helps improve crop production.
