Crop Breeding and Production

Modern crop breeding includes techniques to produce crop hybrids that exhibit better growth and disease resistance. This field takes the help of molecular biology or plant biotechnology to genetically modify crop traits. Crop breeding increases yield as well as improves nutritional value of a crop. Adaptability to harsh climatic conditions as well as tolerance against natural calamities such as droughts are another aspect of this field of study. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of crop breeding. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
