High yielding rice varieties like IRRI-20, IRRI-28, IRRI-29 etc. have been created through hybridization process. IRRI-8 90-100 maunds per acre, IRRI-5 70-75 maunds per acre and Irishail 70-75 maunds per acre. The country’s food shortage has been met by cultivating these high-yielding rice. No need to import food from abroad.
Bangladesh Rice Research Institute has developed high yielding rice varieties such as Chandina (BR-1), Mala (BR-2), Shahi Balam (BR-16), Shrabani (BR-26) through hybridization process. The country’s food needs have been met by cultivating these high-yielding rice.
Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BRRI) has developed high yielding wheat varieties like Balaka, Akbar, Kanchan, Barkat, Sawgat, BR-27, BR-28 etc. through hybridization. Cultivation of high yielding wheat has made it possible to meet the country’s demand and reduced foreign dependence.
Artificial breeding has created varieties of plants that can grow in adverse environments. All these varieties can tolerate drought, flood, salinity etc. due to different characteristics. These crops can be grown in any environment in any season. This has increased the country’s food production. Food needs are met.
Seed shedding behavior of crops has been modified through artificial breeding. It has increased crop production. As a result, farmers have been saved from huge losses.
