Effectiveness of Selection Methods for Yield in Soybean Crosses1

R. L. Voigt and C. R. Weber2

Synopsis: F5 lines selected by a form of early-generation (F4) testing in 5 soybean crosses were superior yield to those selected by bulk and pedigree methods. The lines selected by the early-generation method were similar in maturity and height and superior or equal in lodging resistance to those selected by the bulk and pedigree methods of breeding.
