Traditional Agricultural Practices

Not provided in the context. Please provide options for a response.

Ethnobotany

Ethnobotany studies the relationship between plants and people through traditions, knowledge, and practices.

Herbarium Collections

Herbarium collections involve pressed plant specimens preserved for study.

Traditional Knowledge

False, traditional knowledge systems have a significant impact on botany by providing valuable insights and practices.

Limitations of Traditional Methods

Traditional methods in plant science are limited by their reliance on subjective observations and lack of standardized methodologies.

Objectives of Field Visits

One objective of field visits in plant studies is to observe plants in their natural habitats and collect data for research.
