Correlation and path analysis based on multi-trait BLUP as selection criteria for forage in Paspalum nicorae Parodi
The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations among forage production related traits in Paspalum nicorae Parodi ecotypes and employ BLUP multi-trait path analysis as a selection criterion. Eighty-four ecotypes were grown in a randomized block experimental design with four replications and measured for three years. Measurements included number of tillers, fresh matter, leaf dry matter, stem dry matter, inflorescence dry matter, total dry matter, leaf:stem ratio, harvest index, cold tolerance, forage persistence, growth habit, and plant [...]
