Managing and Breeding Wheat for Organic Systems: Enhancing Competitiveness Against Weeds

by Muhammad Iqbal, Dean Spaner, Muhammad Asif, et al.

Genetically uniform cultivars in many self-pollinated cereal crops dominate commercial production in high-input environments especially due to their high grain yields and wide geographical adaptation.
