The book in hand provide valuable information on genetic diversity,
morphological, biochemical and molecular markers of Brassica spp.
Brassica is the major contributor in the domestic edible oil
production. Currently the national average yield is very low as
compared with other rapeseed growing countries around the globe.
The domestic production hardly meet 30% of the country edible oil
requirement, while 2.045 million tons (70%) is imported from abroad
at the cost of about Rs. 224 billion currently. Among the
production constraints low potential varieties emerged the major
one. In this monograph an attempt has been made to collect Brassica
spp. from various part of the country and were evaluated for
various important attributes, which can lead us toward
self-sufficiency and ultimately prosperity of the country. The book
can be an asset for the scientific communities, planners,
agricultural students and allied stalk holders. It should in every
library around the country.
Earth the planet we inhabit, is a single, living pulsating entity
and the human race an interlocking extended family. The land water
and the atmosphere which constitute it environment, support .37
million species of plants and 1.2 million species of animals. Human
interference into the environment has upset the ecological balance
of our planet. Exploitation of non renewable resources has created
havoc and if allowed to continue can disrupt life on this planet.
Some of the most dramatic cases with environment are man mad fires
slashes burn agriculture, mineral mining, dumping of sewage and
industrial wastes, introduction of new transport system into
natural environment, persistence of nuclear testing and disposal of
nuclear waste, the threat of Global worming and the attenuation of
our ozone shield, the havoc of deforestation leading to destruction
of many species of flora and fauna, devastation of landscape by
herbicides introduction of pests into new areas, over population,
overgrazing, coupled with drought extensive air and water
pollution, and the poising of the food chain. All these are the
problem which the human race shares in common.
