Plant combining desirable morphological and physiological traits are selected in segregating population and intermated to achieve the desired plant type. Morphological features are judged through visual observation and physiological parameters are recorded with the help of sophisticated instruments. Screening for resistance to drought, soil salinity, alkalinity, disease and insects is done under controlled conditions. This task is completed with the help of scientist from the disciplines of physiology, soil science, pathology and entomology. Finally, genotypes combining traits specified in the conceptual model are selected, multiplied, tested over several locations, and released for commercial cultivation
