Descripción
With increasing choices in technologies, decision makers responsible for allocating
resources in plant breeding programs can benefit from using bioeconomic models. This paper
illustrates how such a model works when doubled haploid technology is incorporated into a
hypothetical lupin breeding program. The results derived from the model are presented in
terms of seed prices required to achieve an 8% return on research. Doubled haploid
technology will be used in a breeding program providing the price for seed produced using
this technology is less than the seed market price and the estimated price for seed produced
using alternative technologies.
