What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to plan small-scale breeding experiments, select appropriate crops and germplasm, and develop crossing plans for heat and drought tolerance. You will study Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability estimates, ANOVA techniques, and selection indices, linking molecular markers with field observations to deliver actionable insights for crop variety enhancement and farmer adoption.
