Because corn (maize) is commonly grown as a field crop as opposed to a horticultural crop which is grown in an orchard, nursery, or greenhouse. This distinction is gradually disappearing, though.
Horticultural crops are typically grown for their aesthetic, nutritional, or medicinal value and include fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. In contrast, agronomic crops are cultivated primarily for their economic value and include grains, legumes, and fiber crops, which are often grown on a larger scale for commercial purposes. Horticultural crops usually require more intensive management and care, while agronomic crops are often managed with broader agricultural practices. Additionally, horticultural crops may have a higher value per unit area but lower overall yield compared to agronomic crops.
Agronomic crops can be categorized into height categories such as short, medium, and tall, each with distinct characteristics. Short crops, like certain varieties of wheat, tend to have a sturdier structure, allowing them to withstand harsh weather and resist lodging. Medium-height crops, such as corn, offer a balance between yield potential and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Tall crops, like sorghum, typically have higher productivity due to increased photosynthetic capacity but may require more management to prevent lodging.
The classification of horticultural crops varies depending on the parameters and types of crops being classified. They can be classified by seasons, plant lifespan, usage, physiological and growth characteristics, and climate requirements.
