Should we move to hybrid breeding?
Hybrid breeding aims to keep and increase the non-additive interactions in the final products while increasing the additive genetic value in a recurrent selection program.
The following simulation reports show how the hybrid genetic model applies to non-inbred crops and different ploidies. In addition, we provide practical advice for related questions related to testers, 3-way crosses, etc.

Hybrid breeding strategy in the ICRISAT-Sorghum program
Hybrid breeding is recommended given given the existence of dominance in the gene action of Sorghum populations.
