Drought Resistance and Wheat Breeding
Agricultural Water Management, 1983ABSTRACT Schmidt, J.W., 1983. Drought resistance and wheat breeding. Agric. Water Manage. , 7: 181–194. The breeding of wheat ( Triticum species) for drought resistance has been indirect for the most part. The most direct approach has been identifying an appropriate crop maturity that maximizes growth and the accompanying yield component ...

Breeding for Nematode Resistance
2012Nematode control is complex; therefore, the prevention of an initial phytonematode infestation in pathogen-free areas is of fundamental importance. However, after the entry of the nematode into an area, it is virtually impossible to eradicate because it is a soil-dwelling organism.

Breeding Methods for Drought Resistance
1989Drought resistant varieties were developed in many crop plants by the use of the empirical breeding approach which involves intricate biometrical designs and estimates of stability of yield performance over many locations and years. While success is on record, the method is laborious, expensive and time consuming, largely because yield is an imperfect ...

Breeding for Disease Resistance
1984In 1981, James estimated that diseases caused a worldwide loss of 540 million tons of crop production valued at 50 billion US dollars (1). Diseases were estimated to reduce potential production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by 9.1%, rice (Oryza sativa L.) by 8.9%, maize (corn) (Zea mays L.) by 9.4%, potato (Solarum tuberosum L.) by 21.8%, vegetable ...

Breeding for Striga Resistance
2017Striga hermonthica(L.) Kuntze, a parasitic weed, is endemic in a large part of the Guinea savanna of West and Central Africa (WCA). Strigaplants do much damage underground before the parasitic plants appear on top of the soil around the maize plant. The weed, which could cause 100% yield loss in the maize crop, has defied all control efforts at the ...

Breeding for Resistance to Aphids
1982Most phytophagous insects attack a specific and limited group of host plants. Genuine polyphagous species, being noxious to a great number of different plants, are far less numerous. Specialization of insects to certain host plants implies a close adaptation to the specific properties of the food: (i) The insect must have mechanisms to recognise its ...

STRAWBERRY BREEDING FOR RESISTANCE TO VERTICILLIUM WILT
Acta Horticulturae, 2004Evaluation of resistance/susceptibility to Verticillium wilt of strawberry germplasm obtained during a 20 year breeding program supported by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture was made. An improved method for screening strawberry resistance to Verticillium was also set up.

Breeding for Resistance to Orobanche
1982Faba bean is one of the major hosts of Orobanche crenata Forsk. in Egypt. Infestation varies from a few scattered spikes to a large population almost attacking every bean plant in the field and thus limiting yield considerably. Infested bean fields occur in Egypt throughout the Nile Valley and Delta regions, Fayoom, and the oases in the western desert.
