Adaptability of Soybeans to Late-Planted Environments (Isolines, Gxe, Double Cropping)

Soybeans {Glycine max (L.) Merr.} are grown in the Midwest primarily as a full-season crop and only to a limited extent as a double crop. Development of cultivars specifically adapted to double cropping has been suggested as a means to expand double-crop acreage in this area. Before initiating a separate breeding program for the development of Midwestern double-crop cultivars, information is needed concerning genotype by cropping system interactions, plant traits associated with high yield in double-crop environments, and sources of breeding lines possessing these adaptive traits.
