Selection of inbred soybean progeny (Glycine max): an approach with population effect

To meet the growing demand of the soybean consumer market, cultivars increasingly early, productive and resistant to biotic and abiotic stress are sought. Several populations are obtained in soybean breeding programmes, but progeny are selected without being weighted for their respective population effect. As a consequence, progeny originating from high‐merit populations may be discarded too early. Given this scenario, this study proposes to...
