The planned geographical distribution of major genes for specific resistance to pathogens for use in varietal development and production is referred to as Gene deployment.
Gene deployment is the guided distribution of genes in space and time. Gould divided the gene deployment strategies into two broad categories- 1) spatial (gene deployment at the farm level, at the field level, and the region level) and 2) temporal.
