"Agriculture is Pakistans main factor in economic growth, but fixed cropping patterns, reliance on few major crops, narrow genetic pools, poor seed quality and changing climate have compromised production. This book identifies problems in the industry, and provides remedies to these problems and ways of moving forward towards improvement."--Provided by publisher.
