Pedigree method of selection in plant breeding; Bulk Selection Method; Agriculture notes simple and easy.
STEP 1 : The first step in this process is Hybridization between heterozygous parents P1 and P2. STEP 2 : Hybridization produces F1 generation. STEP 3 The selfing of F1 generation produces F2 population. STEP 4 : Single plant selection carried out at F2 generation. STEP 5 : The F2 single selected plants are grown in Head rows in F3 generation. STEP 6: The most desirable single plants are selected from head rows and they are grown in plant rows again in F4 generation. STEP 7 : The process is repeated until we get homozygous plants (upto F5) STEP 8 : The most productive rows were now bulk selected at this stage and send for trials at F6 generation. How this method differs from Bulk Selection? The single plant selection is done at F2 to F6 generation. WATCH OUT THE FULL VIDEO:
