An annual crop is a plant that completes its entire life cycle from germination and vegetative growth to flowering, seed production, and death within a single growing season. Comprising global staples like maize, wheat, rice, and pulses, these crops offer farmers high economic flexibility and fast seasonal returns. However, because they must be replanted every year, they demand intensive inputs like regular soil tilling, precise nutrient management, and strict crop rotation schedules to break pest cycles and prevent soil erosion.
