A procedure is presented which will allow breeders of self‐pollinated crops to conduct selection recurrently in a population without large numbers of pollinations. The procedure is based on the use of the ‘single‐seed descent’ method, but with each derived line being a descendent of a different F 1 rather than from different F 2 plants within an F 1 .
