Studies on crossability in cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) genotypes

“…The cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.), is an economically important fruit crop which has been witnessing steady internal demand in addition to its export potential in the recent years and hence, it is imperative to increase production and productivity. Its cultivation is now being extended to nontraditional areas like Bastar plateau and Northern hills of Chhattisgarh (Ramteke et al, 2020). Besides production management, the other feasible approaches of achieving this is to intensify crop improvement programmes and development of high yielding varieties needs regular attention as the risk of production is increasing under the scenario of climate change which has association with biotic and abiotic factors (Saroj and Mohana, 2016).…”
