Exclusively distributed by CBS Publishers & Distributors
Description
Plant breeding involves elements of both natural and cultural selection-a process that operates on individual plants and on plant populations. This book offers detailed knowledge of plant reproduction and their environmental interaction, which can help guide new breeding programs and help ensure continuing progress in providing more food for growing populations produced with better care of the environment. It has been written primarily for undergraduate students of agriculture.
