Description The adaptation of a crop or its CUltivar and the associated production
techniques are the resultant of an interplay of biological (genetic),
physical (soil, climate), and environmental (management, socioeconomic]
factors. According to Byth and Mungomrry (1981), thc
term adaptation has been applied to both a process and a condition.
On one hand, it is used to refer to the actions or processes that keep
on changing to suit new circumstances. On the other hand it may be
used to refer to the state or condition of "adaptedness", i.c., to the
performance of a genetic: population in an environment or a range of
environments. They concluded that both these aspects influence the
degree of adaptedness, and that it is generally difficult to distinguish
one from the other.
