Sparse testing designs for optimizing resource allocation in multi-environment cassava breeding trials.

Abstract excerpt

The development of improved cultivars requires establishing multi-environment trials (METs) to evaluate their performance under a wide range of environmental conditions. However, the high phenotyping costs often limit the capacity to evaluate genotypes in all the target environments. Our main objective was to explore the potential of implementing sparse testing in cassava breeding programs to reduce the cost of...
