Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGES: The use of a competition model in the analysis of yield data from single-row hybrid maize METs improves the accuracy of genotype selection and thus the rate of genetic gain, while it ensures resource use efficiency in resource-constrained breeding programs. Conducting large-scale multi-environment trials (METs) is practically challenging to breeding programs in Sub-Saharan Africa due to limitations...
