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 crops tolerant to heat and drought. You will study Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability estimates, ANOVA analysis, and selection indices, while linking molecular markers with field observations to deliver actionable advice for improving crop varieties and promoting their use by farmers.
