Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation NDSF mean was 213.1 ± 7.21 g kg −1 after 90% ethanol extraction.
- Observation NDSF mean was 179.5 ± 5.89 g kg −1 after 80% ethanol extraction.
- Method / resource Assay standard deviations were low at both ethanol concentrations.
- Method / resource NIRS calibration standard errors ranged from 4.71 to 7.54 g kg −1.
- Method / resource NIRS multiple determination coefficients ranged from 0.72 to 0.97.
- Observation Most NDSF heritability estimates exceeded zero significantly and averaged 0.41.
- Observation Expected selection gain averaged 10.3 g kg −1.
- Recommendation Selecting parents with higher NDSF predicted by NIRS may improve alfalfa forage quality.
