Prediction of genotypic values of maize hybrids in unbalanced experiments

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the REML/BLUP can be useful for predicting the genotypicvalues of maize hybrids in a group of unbalanced experiments. A set of 256 single-crosses were evaluated in 13 environmentsfor grain yield, plant height and plant lodging. Sets of hybrids with...
