Two spring barley composites, one based on eight West-European two-rowed cultivars (A) and one, the predominantly six-rowed composite XXI, based on several thousands of barley cultivars (B), formed the starting point of a recurrent selection procedure. The aim was to study whether recurrent selectio
The choice of localities for initial yield testing of selections in a plant breeding programme is often arbitary. We describe a method that allows a more objective approach based on the correlation between the performance of varieties in a locality and their performance over a large area. The method
The efficiency of early generation selection for yield and related characters in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) was studied in the F2, F3 and F4 generations. Twenty-five F2 progenies derived from various crosses were studied. In the F2 generation, number of capitula per plant (CNSP), number of
