Repeatability of agronomic traits in Panicum maximum (Jacq.) hybrids

T. G. S. Braz, Fonseca, D. M., Jank, L., Cruz, C. D., and Martuscello, J. A., Repeatability of agronomic traits in Panicum maximum (Jacq.) hybrids, vol. 14, pp. 19282-19294, 2015.

When evaluating plants, in particular perennial species, it is common to obtain repeated measures of a given trait from the same individual to evaluate the traits’ repeatability in successive harvests. The degree of correlation among these measures defines the coefficient of repeatability, which has been widely utilized in the study of forage traits of interest for breeding. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the repeatability of agronomic traits in Panicum maximum hybrids.
