Who first used the bulk method of breeding?

✅Explanation:• The bulk method of breeding was first used by Nilsson-Ehle in 1908. He primarily applied it to self-pollinated crops like wheat and barley to improve their yield and other agronomic traits. The method involves growing and harvesting large populations of plants in bulk, allowing natural selection to favor favorable alleles over multiple generations.
📌 Other options Explanation:• (B) Brim: Although a prominent wheat breeder• (D) Harlan: Primarily known for his work on plant diversity and evolution
🔴Related Terminologies::• Bulk method: A simple and cost-effective breeding technique involving mass selection in large populations.• Natural selection: The process by which organisms with adaptations better suited to their environment survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to offspring.• Self-pollinated crops: Plants that fertilize themselves using their own pollen, making them suitable for the bulk method.
