Repeatability and number of harvests required for selection in coconut hybrid varieties

July-September 2023 - Vol 15 Num. 3

In the breeding of perennial plant species, the coefficient of repeatability is an important parameter because it allows for effective early selection of superior genotypes, thus saving time and cost. The objective of this study was to determine the minimum number of years required for observation to identify superior...
