1. how to diversify one-hectare idle lowland for sustainable production?

- Maintaining sustainable production of a field is challenging because you will need to consider a farming system that will adhere to the changing weather conditions. The best way to diversity a one-hectare land is through the following:

•  crop-rotation - planting different crops in each planting season
• multiple cropping -  planting diversified plants in each field will increase a sustainable production
•  practicing organic farming of some part of the fields
• adapting agroforestry practices
• incorporation of traditional farming, this can reduce cost
• integrating livestock to the farm

2. why hybridization is important in crop production?

- Hybridization is important because it may lead to an increase in the genetic diversity of crops that can lead to a more adaptive species, more resistance to pest species, and the creation of more varieties. This is because, in hybridization, good quality or traits of plants are being collected and combined via cross-breeding that can now lead to more stable and good quality cops.

Step-by-step explanation

 3. how to evaluate the genotypes in the environment?

- Genotypes are evaluated based on their performance or traits whereby traits of different genotypes are being collected and compared to one another to get the one with the most performance. This will, however, vary because of the effects of their environment,  however, these genetic traits should be evaluated and introduced to where they can thrive better. Evaluation will involve (1) geographic transference; (2) possibly structuring breeding populations into units to serve different environments; and, (3) even number of breeding populations, selective deployment, and trial of genotypes in different environments and compare results.

4. why is it needed to perform plant genetic resources conservation?

- The main reason why we conserve genetic resources is that earlier genes resources have already adapted and are already resistant to the effects on the environment compared to the evolving genetic resources.  Conserving these genes will now ensure good traits for adaptability, genetic diversity, resistance and a good resources for biotechnology and GMOs. Moreover, traditional genes resources are more stronger in resistance and are important biological diversity.
