Fundamentals of Plant Breeding Notes
Fundamentals of Plant Breeding is a basic book that provides information about Plant breeding methods in self- pollinated crops – mass and pure line selection, hybridization techniques, development of inbred lines and hybrids, composite and synthetic varieties. This is the basic fundamental subject for second year BSc Agriculture students. If you’re looking for Fundamentals of Plant Breeding notes you are at the perfect place.
