Abstract

Adaptation of germplasm and maximization of its germplasm improvement are necessary pre-breeding goals for any applied maize breeding program developing cultivars. Recurrent selection methods can contribute to meeting the goals of continuous genetic improvement for significant genetic gains. These methods are complementary to inbred line development methods (e.g., pedigree selection, doubled -haploids) as they provide improved progenies cyclically, the same way half-sib progenies provided B73. They will not replace other breeding methods, but should be integrated with them (Hallauer 1981, 1985, 1992; Pandey and Gardner 1992; Carena and Wicks III 2006; Carena, 2008; Hallauer and Carena, 2009). However, very few breeding programs are still active with intra- and inter-population recurrent selection programs.
