 ## Organisms (crops, pests, diseases and weeds)
 Crops, pests, diseases and weeds are all organisms subject to [classification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy_(biology)#Modern_system_of_classification). In VIPS, they are all placed in the organisms table. Following the rules of the classification system, the table is a tree structure. So each node (bar the root/top nodes) have a parent organism - which may be a family, genus etc.
