| Description |
In large-scale breeding programs, an accurate means of visual selection for yield characteristics would be extremely valuable. At present, yields of test plots must be threshed and weighed individually. At ICRISAT Center in India, accuracy and reliability of visual evaluation for crop yield was tested. Four groups of volunteers were asked to rate 24 diverse cultivars at maturity for yield. From results, it appears that some observers could select the highest yielders with considerable accuracy. More study is needed to determine accuracy of visual selection under a wider range of environmental conditions
