Language : English
Binding : Paperback
This book is a focused, exam-oriented companion to Plant Breeding. It maps every chapter—from historical foundations and genetic principles to heterosis, population improvement, stress breeding, variety release, and IPR—directly to the high-yield areas tested in national and state agriculture competitive exams. Content is trimmed to what matters most: crisp concept notes, step-wise methods, and exam-grade definitions supported by memory aids and quick-revision tables. Core numericals (heritability, genetic advance, breeder’s equation, Hardy–Weinberg) are explained with worked examples and shortcuts. Methods for self-, cross- and asexually-propagated crops are presented in compare-and-contrast formats, alongside hybridization techniques, selection schemes (mass, pure line, recurrent), and special topics (male sterility, SI, wide crosses, polyploidy, mutation breeding). Stress breeding sections integrate screening indices and trait targets. The final units on participatory breeding, variety release/notification, and PPV&FRA help bridge science with regulation—useful for viva and interview prep. Why this book helps you score: ICAR-aligned coverage, organized exactly like the syllabus High-yield summaries, mnemonics, and “at-a-glance” tables Chapter-wise MCQs, PYQ-style items, assertion–reason & match-the-columns Solved numericals with formulas and quick tips Flowcharts for breeding methods and selection schemes Exam checklists for variety release, DUS testing, and IPR essentials Ideal for: ICAR PG/PhD entrances, ASRB NET/ARS (Pre), SAU entrance tests, State PSC/seed sector recruitments, and university semester revisions.
