About The Book
The book manual on Vegetable breeding constitutes on vegetable breeding methods of selfing and crossing techniques, breeding objectives, breeding methods, stress management, biotechnological approaches etc. the whole book is packed in 29 chapters which includes introduction about vegetable breeding and genetics general aspects of vegetable breeding programme, practical account of developing high yielding varieties in important vegetable crops, biometries studies, stress management in vegetable crops biotic and abiotic stress, biotechnological approaches, crossing techniques, breeding trials, seed testing procedure, determination and estimation of quality analysis, varietal testing and release etc. in most lucid and simple manner understandable to students while treating the subject, the interested students will find easy access to there once they go through the selected list of references. The book will serve as text book for useful not only to the graduate students of agricultural universities of India as a ready reckoner for the professionals, who are actively engaged in development of varieties in vegetable crops.
