Description for Managing and Breeding Wheat for Organic Systems
Paperback. This book is focused on breeding wheat for enhanced competitive ability along with other agronomic, genetic and molecular studies that have been undertaken to improve weed suppression, disease resistance and quality in organically managed lands. Series: SpringerBriefs in Agriculture. Num Pages: 85 pages, 8 black & white illustrations, 4 colour illustrations, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PST; PSTD; PSTL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 150.
Genetically uniform cultivars in many self-pollinated cereal crops dominate commercial production in high-input environments especially due to their high grain yields and wide geographical adaptation. These cultivars generally perform well under favorable and high-input farming systems but their optimal performance cannot be achieved on marginal/organic lands or without the use of external chemical inputs (fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides). Cereal breeding programs aim at evaluating candidate lines/cultivars for agronomic, disease and quality traits in a weed free environment that makes it impossible to identify traits conferring competitive ability against weeds. Moreover, quantification of competitive ability is a complex phenomenon which is ... Read more
