Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Heritability of fresh and dry biomass yields was similar.
- Association Genetic correlation between fresh and dry biomass yield exceeded 0.8 in 96.7% of trial years.
- Association The direct effect of fresh matter yield on dry biomass yield was three to four times that of dry matter concentration.
- Method / resource Tripling evaluated families and eliminating dry matter determination was expected to increase genetic gain for dry biomass yield by 17%.
- Method / resource Reducing family replicates while eliminating dry matter determination undermined efficiency gains through lower fresh matter yield heritability.
