Multi-trait selection in a diallel crossing scheme of cocoa

2001-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Cocoa breeding seeks to increase the yield by area unit. In this context, one must consider the resistance to Phytophthora disease, the most serious one in cocoa culture. Thus, herein two traits were used: yield, i.e. number of healthy pods obtained in 7 years and Phytophthora resistance, estimated by pod rot rate. A combined individual-family selection is proposed on the basis of the total genetic value in order...
