उत्तर

The main objectives of plant breeding are:

  • Higher yield.
  • Improved quality.
  • Disease control by developing pest-resistant varieties.
  • Developing varieties resistant to cold, frost, and salinity.
  • Developing early crop maturity to reduce production costs.
  • Developing specific agronomic characteristics such as tallness, dwarfness, tillering, and branching.
  • Developing varieties suitable for cultivation over a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • Developing special traits like photo-insensitivity and thermo-insensitivity in several crop plants.

These objectives aim to develop new crop varieties superior to existing types for better agriculture and food production.
