Conservation agriculture involves reduced tillage, permanent soil cover and crop rotations to
enhance soil fertility and to supply food from a dwindling land resource. Recently …

In the face of a changing climate, yield stability is becoming increasingly important for
farmers and breeders. Long-term field experiments (LTEs) generate data sets that allow the …

Intercropping improves crop productivity in dryland farms, but little information is available
on its application to irrigated land. Therefore, a three-year field trial was conducted to …

Key message New methods that incorporate the main and interaction effects of high-
dimensional markers and of high-dimensional environmental covariates gave increased …

Research data is expensive and precious, yet it is seldom fully utilized due to our ability of
comprehension. Graphical display is desirable, if not absolutely necessary, for fully …

A good statistical analysis of genotype× environment interactions (G× E) is a key
requirement for progress in any breeding program. Data for G× E analyses traditionally …

Sustainable increases in crop production require efficient use of resources, and
intercropping can improve water use efficiency and land productivity at reduced inputs …

Recent review articles in this journal have compared the relative merits of two prominent
statistical models for analyzing yield‐trial data: Additive main effects and multiplicative …

Hybrid breeding in autogamous cereals has a long history of attempts with moderate
success. There is a vast amount of literature investigating the potential problems and …

Biplot analysis has been used for studying genotype× environment interaction (GE) or any
two‐way table. Its descriptive and visualization capabilities along with the availability of user …
