R. aComparison between hill and row plots methods on selection of soybeans for aluminium tolerance in a Brazilian savannah (cerrado) acid soil. c1998 aThe objective of this work was to compare two different methods concerning their efficiency in a selection of soybeans genotypes for Al tolerance. Selection for aluminium tolerance is necessary to the full adaptation of soybeans crop in the acid soils of the Brazilian Savannahs (Cerrados). Field tchniques, however, are laborious and time consuming. The present results indicate that hill plot methods is as efficient as row plot method in the identification of Al-tolerance genotypes. Similar efficiency observed in low Al environment. Hill plot method can be applied in genetic studies and in breeding programmes for crop improvement, using less effort and time than the row plots. aacid soils aplant breeding asoybeans aAlumínio aCerrado aCova aGlycine Max aMelhoramento Genético Vegetal aSoja aSolo Ácido aAluminium aMethods aMetodologia aSulco aTolerancia tPesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira, Brasiliagv.33, n.6, p.899-904, 1998.
