Purpose of Research Task Force
Research foundation for practice-oriented research is enhanced in 9 departments of YAU. The main objectives are:
- To select the biotic and abiotic stress tolerant rice varieties under climate change in particular area
- To provide information on crop pests, diseases and soil fertility Status in Myanmar and improvement of crop management practices
- To enhance postharvest and supply chain management of durable and perishable crops in Myanmar
Outputs
- Management system to promote research is improved in YAU.
- The research ability of academic staff is enhanced in YAU.
Research Groups
