The major steps in breeding a new genetic variety of a crop are as follows:

  • Collection of variability.
  • Evaluation and selection of parents.
  • Cross-hybridization among the selected parents.
  • Selection and testing of superior recombinants.
  • Testing, release, and commercialization of new cultivars.
