Theory is given for a simple practical method of predicting gain from two-stage independent culling, where stage 1 of selection is for individual performance and stage 2 is for either progeny performance only, or an index combining individual and progeny performance. Expected gain is determined as a
Best Linear Prediction (BLP) was used to predict breeding values for 1,396 parents from progeny test data in an operational slash pine breeding program. BLP rankings of parents were compared to rankings of averaged standard scores, a common approach in forestry. Using BLP rankings, selection of high
