Detailed explanation-1: -Tallness and profuse branching are desirable characteristics for fodder crops. Dwarfness is desired in cereals so that fewer nutrients are consumed by these crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the cereals, the main character that is desirable is dwarfness. This is because when the crop is small, the fewer nutrients are required by the plants. They require less energy for their growth and development. They use their energy for the production of a large number of grains.
Detailed explanation-3: -These crops are easy to cut due to its tall nature and profuse branching (more branches) means more food per plant for a cattle.
Detailed explanation-4: -Higher yield: Crop variety improvement’s main goal is to increase the productivity of the crop. The productivity is improved by producing high yielding varieties through plant breeding. Quality product: To improve the quality of the food crops. The quality of the crop depends on the type of crop.
Detailed explanation-5: -Short height or dwarfness in cereals. Tallness and profuse branching in any fodder crop. Changing the maturity duration.
