Abstract only

Assessment of farmers that grow the target crops is important for establishment of a new crop breeding program. Objectives of a breeding program should be identified based on farmer requirements and should address farmers' problems, expectations and demands. Genetic variability by the desired traits such as resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, yield and quality is essential to be presented in the breeding stock
