IMAM MAHMUD AND H. H. K.RAMER MODIFICATIONS of the pedigree and bulk methods of breeding following hybridization have been used to produce many of the recently released soybean varieties. An early and accurate appraisal of segregates has been of vital interest to most soybean breeders. Testing in early generations, studied extensively-in some open pollinated crops, has suggested the possibility of a similar application in self pollinated crops. More precisely, the problems involved are, first, a selection of those crosses which are most likely to give the highest proportion of superior segregates, and second, an early evaluation of the potentialities of the segregates from those crosses. These two problems are closely related.
