Background
The book delves into cutting-edge research and innovative approaches aimed at enhancing the productivity and sustainability of oilseed crops. The book comprehensively covers advanced genomics and modern breeding techniques that pave the way for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant varieties. It highlights the integration of genomics in addressing abiotic stresses, including drought tolerance in rapeseed-mustard through both conventional and molecular approaches and the genomic designing for sesame resistance to various stresses. The performance trends, prospects and constraints of key oilseed crops like soybean, rapeseed and mustard are analyzed, providing insights into recent advancements and future directions. The book also explores biotic and abiotic stress management, emphasizing innovative pest and disease control strategies, nutrient management and sustainable weed management practices. Intercropping, zero tillage and other sustainable agricultural practices are examined to enhance oilseed production efficiency. Overall, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, agronomists, and policymakers seeking to leverage modern scientific advancements for the improvement of oilseed crops, ensuring food security and economic sustainability.
