Synopsis F 5 lines selected by a form of early‐generation (F 4 ) 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.
