Experimental Production and Performance of Hybrid Soybean Varieties
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe inability to produce large quantities of seed and/or to achieve economic levels of heterosis are major problems in most self-pollinated crops, including soybeans {Glycine max (L.) Merr.}. However, very little work has been done on hybrid soybeans. In all previous reports on hybrid soybeans, the hybrid seed was produced by hand pollination. This greatly limited the amount of hybrid seed available so almost all observations have been recorded from single, spaced plants. Since the discovery of genetic male sterility in soybeans, no studies have been published on hybrid soybeans which have used male sterility to produce the hybrid seed.
