crops and nursery rows

English term or phrase: crops and nursery rows
I have a couple of questions in this text.

Remove some box hedges to give a more logical layout to a productive area. Plant with fruit trees and olives with crops and nursery rows.

- On the one hand, I do not know how to translate "crops and nursery rows".
- On the other hand, I wonder whether both crops and nursery are adjective-function nouns, or crop is a self-standing noun and only rows is modified by nursery.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Explanation:
I'm 90% sure "crops" does not modify "rows", otherwise it would be in the singular. As for nursery rows, it's something like what we see here:

I'd go for "hileras de viveros".
