Plant breeding and its role in Australian wheat growth
A summary of plant breeding's impact on Australian wheat agriculture. The Department of Agriculture notes that early crop cultivation lagged behind varietal development, but breeders advanced drought resistant and early maturing varieties. NSW wheat area grew from under one million acres to over four million, aided by breeding efforts expanding into drier districts. The piece emphasizes plant breeding as crucial during pioneer and settled agricultural stages, enabling stable crops and disease resistant varieties that supported national economic value.
