About the Book

A comprehensive review of modern statistical and trial management techniques for field evaluation of plant varieties, this advanced text focuses on the distinctive goals of plant breeders and the technical problems they face. Theoretical methods are explained clearly and supported by numerous examples and references to available computer software. This book should be of interest to plant scientists working on plant breeding programmes, masters students, researchers and teachers in the plant sciences, plant genetics and biometry.
