variety testing

Variety testing involves comparing different types or strains of a crop, like wheat or corn, to see which performs best under specific conditions. Researchers plant multiple varieties in the same area, then observe and measure factors such as yield, disease resistance, and adaptability. This process helps farmers and breeders identify which varieties are most productive and resilient for their region, guiding better crop choices and improving overall agricultural success. It is a systematic way to evaluate and select the best-performing plant types for cultivation.
