What are the desirable agronomic characteristics for crop improvements?
The desirable agronomic characteristics for crop improvements are:
i. Tallness and profuse branching are desirable characters for fodder crops.
ii. Dwarfness is desired in cereals. This way they consume less nutrients.
These desirable agronomic characteristics help in increasing crop productivity.
