Overall, the main job that a breeder carries is to make the crop’s producer job easier and equally effective in many ways.
This book, Plant Breeding, and genetics are designed in such a way that they can present plant breeding in a very balanced and comprehensive pattern. The principle and concepts related to genetics are presented in a very detailed way to learn how all the principles are applied in plant breeding. Along with that, both the conventional and contemporary methods of plant breeding are discussed in the book.
