Tridge summary

In the Field Crops Central Research Institute affiliated with the General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, crossbreeding processes is carried out to provide the genetic variation necessary for barley and wheat breeding studies. According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, studies are carried out to make food supply security sustainable by improving quality and quality products that are resistant to winter, drought, and diseases, less affected by pests, provide higher yields and meet the domestic and foreign market demands of producers, industrialists, and consumers. In this context, the Field Crops Central Research Institute also conducts crossbreeding studies in order to provide the genetic variation required in breeding studies in barley and wheat. "Do not confuse crossbreeding with GMO" Agricultural engineer at the Field Crops Central Research Institute, Dr. Namuk Ergün said that hybridization processes were started in the 1960s within the scope of breeding studies.
