What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to set up small breeding trials, select ideal crops and germplasm, and develop crossing plans for crops that withstand heat and drought. You will study Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability, ANOVA analysis, and selection indices, linking molecular markers with field observations to deliver practical advice for improving crop varieties and promoting their use by farmers.
