ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to verify the repeatability of the expression of forage characters in intraspecific hybrids of Paspalum notatum Flügge to aid early selection. Across five harvests, plant height, tiller population density, leaf dry matter, stem dry matter, inflorescence dry matter, total dry matter, and growth habit were quantified for five parents, 189 hybrids, and a commercially available cultivar as a control (n = 195). Analysis of variance, principal components analysis, and structural analysis methods were […]

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the coefficient of repeatability of some agronomic characteristics in Panicum maximum hybrids. Ten plots of sexual plants of this species were randomly distributed among 230 plots of apomitic accessions. After natural hybridization, seeds of each sexual plant constituted a half-sib family. Thirty plants of each female progenitor were evaluated in a randomized blocks design, with five plants per plot and six replications. Based on five evaluation cuts, the coefficient of repeatability was estimated […]
