Genotype-by-Environment Interaction
Author: Manjit S KangPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780367448684
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Genotype-by-Environment Interaction (GEI) is a prevalent issue among crop farmers, plant breeders, geneticists, and production agronomists. This book brings together contributions from expert plant breeders and quantitative geneticists to better understand the relationship between crop performance and environment. This information can reduce the cost of extensive genotype evaluation by eliminating unnecessary testing sites and by fine-tuning breeding programs. Molecular aspects of GEI are discussed for the first time and key bibliographical references on GEI are included in an appendix.

Guidance on realizing real water savings with crop water productivity interventions
Author: Van Opstal, J., Droogers, P., Kaune, A., Steduto, P., Perry, C.Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251341362
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
This technical document contains clear and practical guidelines on how to implement real water savings in agriculture through interventions for enhancing crop water productivity. A distinction is made between real water savings and “apparent” water savings. Apparent water savings record reductions in water withdrawals but do not account for changes in water consumption. Real water savings record reductions in water consumption and non-recoverable return flows (runoff or percolation). This guidance document emphasizes the paradox of water savings at field and basin scales, which usually do not translate into increased water availability for other users, as is commonly believed.
