A collaborative project between CIMMYT and Monsanto Co. was conducted to explore the commercial potential of irrigated spring bread wheat hybrids in northem Mexico. Cukadar et al. (2000) and Cukadar and Van Ginkel (2001) reported moderate yield advantages in CIMMYT hybrids versus conventional CIMMYT lines. The highest yielding parents tended to produce the highest yielding hybrids. This report summarizes the findings from testing more recently produced hybrids.
