| Publisher Description: The book encompasses valuable information on identification of supervier wheat genotypes under moisture stress and irrigated environments. Drought limit the seed production especially wheat, as the crop is grown in areas where artificial means of irrigation are either lacking or inadequate. Low yield of wheat is also due to moisture stress during its growth period, mainly due to uncertain rainfall. The solutions include the development of different irrigation systems which require huge expenses. The best option is to develop drought tolerant wheat genotypes. Therefore, the screening of elite and exotic wheat germplasm for drought tolerant was preferred to develop desirable wheat varieties with greater yield potential under both irrigated and rainfed conditions which can boost up grain yield. The book can be an asset for the researchers, planner and agriculture students. It should in each and every library around the country. |
