Estimate of genetic parameters and predicted gains with early selection of physic nut families Estimativa de parâmetros genéticos e ganhos preditos com a seleção precoce de famílias de Pinhão-Manso

An initial evaluation of early selection of physic nut genotypes based on phenotypic data is presented. In order to predict the genetic gains with early selection, genetic parameters, e.g. additive genetic variance, were first obtained for grain yield along with other numerous traits. The results de...
