What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to set up small breeding experiments, select ideal crops and germplasm, and develop smart crossing plans for crops that withstand heat and drought. You'll master Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability estimates, ANOVA analysis, and selection indices, linking molecular markers with field observations to deliver practical advice for improving crop varieties and encouraging farmer uptake.
