He has released several varieties of soybean including Pusa9712 and Pusa9814. He has also guided many students including masters and supervised doctoral theses.

Godfree Chigeza, PhD, is currently associated with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Lusaka, Zambia, as a soybean breeder. Prior to this appointment, he worked as breeder project lead at MRI Zambia, Syngenta Africa and Middle East (AME). He was the projects team lead for maize breeding at the Agricultural Research Council-Grain Crops Institute, Potchefstroom, South Africa, and worked as a field trial and horticultural manager at the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP) Department of Biology, University of York, UK. Dr. Chigeza has a PhD in Plant Breeding from the University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. He received his MPhil in Agricultural Sciences and graduate diploma in Agricultural Sciences (Plant Breeding and Biotechnology) at the University of Queensland, Australia.
