Plant Breeding
Plant breeding is a method of animal and plant husbandry that is used to improve the quality and yield of crops. It is accomplished by controlled pollination, selection, and using genetic engineering techniques. Plant breeding is an important method of creating new varieties of plants that have specific characteristics desired by farmers, such as disease resistance, larger yields, and improved quality of the produce. Plant breeding also allows for a greater variety of produce which increases food security and nutritional diversity. Plant breeding techniques are essential to the success of global agriculture, as they have enabled farmers to reduce wastage and increase crop yields.
