Abstract |
FIELDBOOK is a collection of macros for Microsoft EXCEL®, designed to assist maize breeders in aspects of fieldbook, pedigree and data management. The program manages seed preparation, nursery and trial books, updates pedigrees and keeps a seed inventory of which germplasm can easily be selected using pedigree, origin, or performance data. The ALPHA Program lets you. Create randomizations for alpha (0,1) lattice designs. Make an analysis of variance for an alpha (0,1) lattice design and calculate lattice-adjusted means. Select the best entries from a trial using the data of various traits (e.g. grain yield and secondary traits) or using data taken in various environments. The ALPHA Program uses MST AT files, i.e. MST AT can be used to enter and transform the data gathered for a trial with an alpha (0, I) lattice design. |
