Prediction of genotypic values and estimation of genetic parameters in common bean

Eighteen common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes were evaluated in 25 environments of the state of São Paulo in 2001 and 2002. The estimation of genetic parameters by the Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) and the prediction of genotypic values via Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) were...
