Abstract excerpt
Spatial variation is a major source of error in agricultural field experiments affecting genotype performance prediction. Implementing statistical models that account for spatial effects can improve the prediction of genotype performance. This study evaluated the impact of the P-spline spatial correction method on the estimation of genetic parameters and AIC values in two distinct crops, wheat and cassava, using...
