New Sunflower Hybrids Show Increased Seed Yield Across Multiple Locations
The researchers studied different sunflower hybrids to see how stable they were in terms of seed yield and other important traits at three different locations. They looked at nine single crosses and fifteen three-way crosses. The main goal was to see which hybrids performed consistently well across all locations. The key findings showed that some hybrids were more stable than others, meaning they produced similar results regardless of where they were grown. This information can help farmers choose the best hybrids for their specific growing conditions.
