Models and Methods for Estimating Variety Means in Regional Crop Trials--Comparisons of Arithmetic Mean,Weighted Least Squares Estimates and BLUPs

Based on the mixed linear model, several weighted least squares estimates(WLSEs)and best linear unbiased predictors(BLUPs) were summarized and proposed for estimating variety means in regional crop trials, and the corresponding calculating formulae were derived and presented for balanced data The data of 14 rounds of 2-year-multi-location regional cotton trials and a 4-year-multi-location cotton trial were used to compare the predictive efficiencies of arithmetic means, WLSEs and BLUPs The results showed that the predictive differences and variety ranks of the WLSE weighted by the reciprocals of error variances within environments (WLSEe) differed significantly from that of the arithmetic means, but the predictive accuracy of WLSEe increased or decreased irregularly in different trials; the predictive results of other WLSEs and BLUPs were similar to that of the arithmetic means, the correlation coefficients and rank correlation coefficients between them were all above 0 93
