Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the association between estimates of adaptability, stability, and productivity in soybean (Glycine max), and to estimate the repeatability coefficient of these associations between years. A total of 22 genotypes were evaluated in 27 environments in the 2012/2013 crop season and in 19 environments in 2013/2014. In the next crop seasons, 28 genotypes were evaluated in 26 environments, in 2014/2015, and in 25 environments in 2015/2016, totalizing 97 trials. Fourteen methods were evaluated; Spearman correlation coefficients were obtained for the parameters of stability, adaptability, and productivity; and the repeatability coefficients, as well as the minimum number of required environments for a coefficient of determination of 80 and 90%, were calculated. The minimum number of environments required to estimate the degree of association between the parameters was low (seven sites). The methods of Eberhart & Russell and GGE biplot are essential in the evaluation of productivity, adaptability, and stability in soybean because they are able to encompass these aspects using a minimum set of methods. The methods of Annicchiarico (AN), Silva & Barreto (SB), Cruz (CR), and Storck & Vencovsky (SV) can be used to generate complementary information, such as: stability for general, favorable, and unfavorable environments (AN); adaptability in favorable and unfavorable environments (SB, CR, and SV); and average productivity in all environments and in favorable or unfavorable environments (SV).

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the productive performance, and the adaptability and stability parameters of modern soybean (Glycine max) cultivars in multi-environment trials, as well as to identify the ideal genotypes for eight growing environments in Brazil. A randomized complete block experimental design was carried out, with three replicates, for the evaluation of 46 soybean cultivars in eight environments, in the microregions of adaptation 102, 201, and 202, in the 2014/2015 crop season. A complex genotype x environment interaction occurred, with changes in the ranking of genotypes among locations. The NA 5909 RG, M6410IPRO, NS 5959 IPRO, NS6823RR, M5917IPRO, NS 6767 RR, and 6563RSF IPRO cultivars showed the highest mean yields. The NA 5909 RG, NS6823RR, M6410IPRO, and NS 5959 IPRO cultivars showed high adaptability and stability and high grain yield, in the evaluated environments, and were ranked next to the ideal genotype for the analyzed environments. There are modern soybean cultivars, which are adapted, stable, and highly productive, for cultivation in the microregions 102, 201, and 202 for soybean crop adaptation in Brazil.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to identify core locations in two soybean macroregions in Brazil for the evaluation and selection of soybean (Glycine max) lineages. Twenty-two cultivars were tested in 23 locations in these two macroregions (MR1 and MR2), during four years, from 2012 to 2015. Trials were conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. All analyses were performed using the GGEbiplot software. The genotype main effects plus genotype × location interaction + genotype main effects plus genotype × environment interaction and genotypic effect vs. genotype x environment effect analyses were used to identify core locations, i.e., locations with high representativeness and consistency of results. Chapada, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and Maracaju, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, were the core locations in MR1 and MR2, respectively. These locations were the most representative and consistent over the years, and the genotypic effect explained a high proportion of phenotypic variance.

The objective of this study were to estimate the general ability and specific combining ability in ten wheat genotypes in two generations (F1 and F2) to indicate parents and hybrid combinations that are promising to achieve new favorable combinations. Ten wheat genotypes were hybridized in a complete diallel, without reciprocals, totaling 45 hybrid combinations. F1 hybrids and the F2 populations and parents were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replicates in spaced plant. The effect of general combining ability (GCA) was greater than specific combining ability (SCA) in both generations, regardless of the characters evaluated. The best performances of the CGC to grain yield per plant (GYP), number of kernels per spike (NKS), number of spikes per plant (NSP) and plant height (PH) were observed for the parents Fundacep 50, Pampeano, BRS Figueira and UTF 0605, respectively. Promising hybrid combinations (high magnitude of SCA in both generations and high average for the character and at least one parent presenting desirable GCA) were selected. The association of GCA with the performance of characters GYP (F1 = F2 = 0.75 and 0.81), NKS (F1 = F2 = 0.61 and 0.60) and PH (F1=0.99 and F2= 0.98) showed to be a reliable criterion for choice of parents, regardless of generation evaluated.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as melhores épocas de semeadura e avaliar a adaptabilidade e a estabilidade de cultivares de trigo, em duas regiões tritícolas do Paraná. Avaliou-se a produtividade de grãos de sete cultivares, em Guarapuava, e de nove, em Palotina, em quatro épocas de semeadura, em 2006, 2007 e 2008. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições em Guarapuava, e três em Palotina. Foram utilizadas a metodologia REML/BLUP e a dos efeitos principais dos genótipos e da interação genótipo x ambiente (GGE biplot) para a avaliação da adaptabilidade e da estabilidade das cultivares, e o métodoAMMI para a identificação das melhores épocas de semeadura. Semeaduras em julho, em Guarapuava, e em abril, em Palotina, maximizam a produtividade de grãos. As cultivares Safira, em Guarapuava, e CD 113, em Palotina, são estáveis, amplamente adaptadas e apresentam alta produtividade de grãos.

Conhecer a resistência de genótipos de feijão à fitopatógenos é importante para uso em programas de melhoramento genético. Duas técnicas de inoculação bacteriana foram testadas para avaliar a sensibilidade de genótipos de feijão ao crestamento bacteriano comum, causado por Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli. Foram inoculados folíolos de 56 genótipos de feijão, utilizando-se das técnicas de agulhas múltiplas e incisão com tesoura, utilizando o isolado XAP 15497. Foi possível classificar 21 genótipos resistentes, 13 moderadamente resistentes, 9 moderadamente suscetíveis e 13 suscetíveis pelo método de inoculação com agulhas múltiplas. No método de inoculação com tesoura, foi possível classificar 24 genótipos como resistentes, 21 como moderadamente resistentes, 7 como moderadamente suscetíveis e 4 suscetíveis. Os genótipos IPR Chopim, IAPAR 81, IAPAR 16, BRS Campeiro, BRS Radiante, IAPAR 80, UTF 6, SM 9906, PI 2072620, LP 01-51, PB 4, Uirapuru, IAPAR 20, Zonin, IAPAR 31, 2 V, CNPF 7762, BRS Talismã, Pérola, Lon Rosinha e UTF 9 tiveram comportamento semelhante diante dos dois métodos de inoculação. Verificou-se que os dois métodos de inoculação foram eficientes para a determinação das reações de suscetibilidade e resistência dos genótipos. Porém, a técnica de inoculação com agulhas múltiplas demonstrou maior praticidade e precisão para a avaliação da área foliar inoculada.The knowledge of resistance of bean genotypes to pathogens is important to genetic breeding programs. Two methods of bacterial inoculation were tested to evaluate the sensitivity of bean genotypes to common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli. Leaves of 56 bean genotypes were inoculated by the method of multiple needles and the method of incision with scissors, using the isolated XAP 15497. We classified 21 genotypes as resistant, 13 as moderately resistant, 9 as moderately susceptible, and 13 as susceptible by the method of inoculation with multiple needles. With the method of inoculation with scissors it was possible to classify 24 genotypes as resistant, 21 as moderately resistant, 7 as moderately susceptible, and 4 as susceptible. The genotypes IPR Chopim, IAPAR 81, IAPAR 16, BRS Campeiro, BRS Radiante, IAPAR 80, UTF 6, SM 9906, PI 2072620, LP 01-51, PB 4, Uirapuru, IAPAR 20, Zonin, IAPAR 31, 2 V, CNPF 7762, BRS Talismã, Pérola, Lon Rosinha, and UTF 9 had similar behavior in the two methods of inoculation. Both methods of inoculation were efficient in determining the reactions of susceptibility and resistance of the genotypes but the method of inoculation with multiple needles was more precise and practical in the evaluation of the inoculated portion of the leaf.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the experimental precision of different methods of statistical analysis for trials with large numbers of soybean genotypes, and their relationship with the number of replicates. Soybean yield data (nine trials; 324 genotypes; 46 cultivars; 278 lines; agricultural harvest of 2014/15) were used. Two of these trials were performed at the same location, side by side, forming a trial with six replicates. Each trial was analyzed by the randomized complete block, triple lattice design, and use of the Papadakis method. The selective accuracy, least significant difference, and Fasoulas differentiation index were estimated, and model assumptions were tested. The resampling method was used to study the influence of the number of replicates, by varying the number of blocks and estimating the precision measurements. The experimental precision indicators of the Papadakis method are more favorable as compared to the randomized complete block design and triple lattice. To obtain selective accuracy above the high experimental precision range in trials with 324 soybean genotypes, two repetitions can be used, and data can be analyzed using the randomized complete block design or Papadakis method.
