Visual selection of Urochloa ruziziensis genotypes for green biomass yield
Teixeira, Davi Henrique Lima; Gonçalves, Flávia Maria Avelar; Nunes, José Airton Rodrigues; Souza Sobrinho, Fausto; Benites, Flávio Rodrigo GandolfiThe breeding program of Urochloa ruziziensis evaluates many genotypes in initial phases. Evaluations through grades might make the selection less costly. The aim of this study was to verify the efficiency of visual selection for green biomass yield in relation to different selection strategies, such as mass selection by phenotypic mean, BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) and at random. For this purpose, 2,3...
Plot size for evaluation of Arabica coffee yield
Moraes, Bráulio Fabiano Xavier de; Toledo, Fernando Henrique Ribeiro Barroso; Dias, Kaio Olímpio das Graças; Andrade, Vinícius TeixeiraIn most cases, in genetic breeding of Arabica coffee, plot size is defined in an empirical manner. It is often based only on the experience of the breeders and the availability of resources, potentially leading to a reduction in precision. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the size of the experimental plot for evaluation of coffee yield. We evaluated two experiments for validation of cultivars wi...
A multi-environment trials diallel analysis provides insights on the inheritanc...
Ribeiro, Carlos Alexandre Gomes; Pádua, José Maria Villela; Dias, Kaio Olímpio das Graças; Pastina, Maria Marta; Souza, João Cândido deIn maize, the fungi that cause Fusarium ear rot result not only in decreased grain yield and quality, but also grain contamination by fumonisin. This study investigated the inheritance of fumonisin contamination resistance (FCR) in tropical maize, based on a multi-environment trials diallel analysis via mixed models. For this purpose, based on 13 inbred lines, single-cross hybrids were created and assessed in t...
