Soybean Rust Resistance and Yield Performance of Elite Soybean Genotypes Across Diverse Environments in Uganda.

ABSTRACT: Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is one of the important legumes globally, serving as an affordable and valuable protein source for humans and livestock. However, selecting the most suitable genotype across diverse environmental conditions remains a major challenge due to significant genotype-by-environment interactions (GEI). In addition, the quantitative inheritance of resistance to soybean rust and grain yield further complicates breeding efforts. This study aimed to assess the performance and stability of newly developed soybean genotypes regarding resistance to soybean rust and grain yield. Twenty-two newly developed genotypes and two check varieties were evaluated using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications during five consecutive cropping seasons i
