Development of Vegetable Hybrids for Climate Change Scenarios

Vegetables are grown in diverse climatic conditions from temperate regions to extreme tropics. In tropics and subtropics, the climate shifts are more prominent, and major vegetables are grown round the year in these areas. Breeding vegetable crops suitable for different agroclimatic conditions is the key objective of the commercial companies. Many hybrids are already released by private companies which are adaptable under different agroclimatic conditions. Different breeding options are discussed to meet the challenges of climate change.
