Multi-environment trial of maize hybrids in China

Yield of 13 hybrids, grown in 10 locations across 2 years. Conducted in Yunnan, China.

Format

A data frame with 260 observations on the following 5 variables.

gen: genotype
maturity: maturity, days
year: year
loc: location
yield: yield, Mg/ha

Details

Data are the mean of 3 reps.

These data were used to conduct a stability analysis of yield.
