Improvements of crops in general and food crops in particular are engaging the attention of research workers in India and all the world over. But in many States of India we are faced with deficit in the matter of the production of food crops. Several attempts are being made to make up this deficit by evolving high yielding strains, and conducting manurial and cultural investigations to find out the best method of improving the yield. Plant Introduction as a means of crop improvement is only a recent approach in India. Improvement of cereal food crops received first attention and in the early stages of crop improvement the search for new types was confined to places within our country and the desirable types were isolated and grown. With the introduction of new plants, one has to guard against the introduction of dangerous pests and diseases also. To this end plant quarantine measures are being adopted in all advanced countries.
