Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Selection programs significantly increased grain yield.
- Observation Selection programs reduced grain moisture.
- Observation Selection programs reduced root lodging.
- Observation The 30-S1 program gained 0.13 Mg per hectare per cycle.
- Observation The 5-S1 program gained more per cycle than the 20-S1 program.
- Observation Additive genetic variance for yield did not change significantly.
- Observation Yield heritability was highest in C5-20, though population differences were not significant.
- Recommendation Authors infer little advantage of larger effective population sizes for short-term selection.
