Group Type: Organization
Activities
This group will discuss design of experiments for variety trials - especially those that involve more factors and/or many varieties. Statistical analyses of appropriate measures for disease susceptibility and weed competitiveness both for single trials and a series of trials will be discussed and recommendations will be given. The statistical analysis of non-normally distributed data and methods for describing genotype x environment interactions and prediction of variety performance under specific environmental conditions will be discussed. The group will also study the statistical analyses of variety mixture efficacies, which may include some methods for intra-plot competition as well as meta-analyses comparing data from different designs. The group will act to ensure that appropriate designs and statistical methods are used within the network.
