Abstract

The growth and development of plants depend on nitrogen. Cereal crop development is greatly influenced by soil nitrogen content, and tropical soils have low nitrogen contents. Organic waste can trap nitrogen in the soil, making it unavailable to plants. On the other hand, low-input farming refers to systems that are maintained with less inputs, leading to a stressed system, typically caused by a scarcity of nitrogen and phosphate or a lack of water, which results in output losses. It is frequently related to and used as a synonym for organic farming in developed nations. A tolerant plant can no longer fend off or control the spread of a disease after it has taken hold. Finding ways to increase food production is therefore urgently needed, especially in the world's poorest areas. In contemporary improvement attempts, genotypic selection based on higher yield performance is typically carried out under optimal circumstances for each type of stress. To address these situations, breeding curricula that look at potential low-yielding varieties must be created. In these curricula, varieties with better stress tolerances such as delayed leaf senescence, improved nutrient economy, local environmental fitness, consistent yield, and disease resistance are chosen, increasing the sustainability of low-input systems. As a result, researchers from all around the world are putting in a lot of effort to create improved varieties and hybrids. Crop cultivars that are abiotic and biotic-tolerant can be created through introduction, selection, hybridization, and mutation techniques. Pedigree, modified bulk pedigree, and another culture method were used to produce a cultivar that can withstand salinity. In order to create superior genotypes by conventional breeding or biotechnological methods, a geneticist must comprehend the genetic foundation of biotic and a biotic tolerance in crop plants. Breeders must continuously update their knowledge and abilities to keep current due to the quick advancements in crop science and genetic technologies.
