GENERALIZATION OF MODELS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE GENOTYPE-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION

Abstract

Eberhart and Russell's approach, known as the Stability Parameters method for plant breeders, is one of the most popular methods in México to explain the genotype environment interaction. This approach has sorne errors that can be corrected by including the Mandel, Milliken and Graybill, and Shukla's findings. Moreover, with Gabriel's theory a better fit of the multiplicative model used can be obtained. The usefulness of these results is illustrated in this paper analyzing data from a field experiment with beans
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.).
