Traditional plant breeding techniques have led us to depend more and more on chemical pesticides to protect ourcrops. Return to Resistance shows gardeners, farmers, and plant breeders how to use a long-neglected technique to create hardy new plant varieties that are naturally resistant to pests and disease. Horizontal resistance breeding has been largely ignored in this century due to the popularity and apparent successes of the Mendelian geneticists. 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aCrops$xGenetics 606 $aPlants$xDisease and pest resistance$xGenetic aspects 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aCrops$xGenetics. 615 0$aPlants$xDisease and pest resistance$xGenetic aspects. 676 $a581.1 676 $a632/.96 700 $aRobinson$b Raoul A.$f1928-$0919948 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143276803321 996 $aReturn to resistance$92063413 997 $aUNINA
