Experimental Statistic for Wheat Crop (Triticum aestivum)

Plant breeding can be characterized as the art and science of developing plants with higher productivity, added to other agronomic characteristics of interest (resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of wheat crop), and which reflects a reduction in investments with agricultural inputs. Wheat is one of the main foods in the human diet. It is used by 35% of the world population, (Kronstad, 1986), in addition to being one of the most planted cereals in the world (FAO, 2011), and representing about 20% of the total calories currently consumed by humanity.
