This book entitled Objective Resistance Plant Breeding has been designed to cover the subject in objective manner. Hope, this book would be useful to the Post Graduate Students, Teachers and Researchers engaged in the field of Plant Breeding and Genetics and to those preparing for competitive examinations of ICAR such as JRF, SRF, NET and ARS.
