Optimal strategies for regional cultivar testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In undertaking cultivar trials, the variability of the response of the cultivars to the di¡erent environments in which they are grown introduces the possibility of release errors and non-release errors in the decisions made on the basis of the trial results. In this article a model is developed that accounts for the economic costs of those errors as well as the costs of operating the trials, and enables the features of the optimal cultivar testing program to be identi¢ed. The model is illustrated by application to wheat cultivar trials in central and southern NSW.
