A bootstrap method of estimating heritability from varietal trial data

Published on Jul 28, 2018 02:10 AM

The broad sense heritability, useful in the selection of
promising parents in vegetatively propagated crops, is
estimated as a function of variance components in the
analysis of variance of multilocation varietal data. A
bootstrap procedure for obtaining robust estimates of
these components has been outlined in this paper. The
estimates of broad sense heritability for different
combinations of varieties and locations have been given
along with their mean squared errors.
 

Keywords: Broad sense heritability, multi-location trials, bootstrap procedure, simulation.
