Crop improvement is done for the following desired characteristics:
∙ Higher yield: To increase the productivity of the crop per unit area .
∙ Improved Quality: Quality is very important in order to overcome malnutrition. It varies from crop to crop.
∙ Resistance to diseases: Plants suffer from various diseases caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. So, plants should be resistant to these pathogens which directly effect the productivity.
∙ Response to fertilisers: Fertilisers are the source of some nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients play a vital role in the metabolic activity of the plant.
