The adoption of farming practices and agricultural technologies in countries like India is influenced by various factors, including the size of farms, financial resources available to farmers, and access to information and technologies.

Agronomic characteristics serve as key targets for breeding programs aimed at improving crop performance and productivity. By selecting and developing varieties with specific traits such as height, branching, or nutrient efficiency, breeders can address challenges related to resource limitations, climate ...
