Abstract:

Very little additional land is available for expansion of
crop production due to the otherwise high cropping
intensity in producing areas

Increased total production of the crop cannot be realized
through area expansion

Currently, average yields of 0 5 t ha 1 and 1 2 t ha 1 are
realized by small scale farmers

Wheat, also may suffer from a number of insect, disease,
weed,
nutritional, and environmental stresses

NARO BugiZARDI developing technologies for improved
productivity of wheat through management of major
diseases especially rusts
