Unreliable Crop Yields: How Genotype x Environment Interaction Affects Coffee Production
Understanding how genes and the environment interact is crucial in plant breeding. This interaction affects crop yield stability and makes selecting the best genotypes tricky. Different statistical methods like AMMI and GGE biplot help analyze multi-environment trials to identify superior genotypes in specific conditions. The presence of genotype x environment interaction confirms that certain genotypes perform better in certain environments, rather than being universally superior. This knowledge helps make genotype testing and selection more efficient for improving crop productivity.
