Title:
 The influence of reduction of the number of measurements on decisions concerning distinctness of red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) varieties

Language: English

Keywords:
DUS trials
number of measurements
red fescue

Summary:
In a paper the problem of reduction of number of measurements in DUS (distinctness, uniformity and stability) trials on red fescue varieties is discussed. All consideration are based on the results of DUS trials performed by The Research Centre for Cultivar Testing in the years 2005 to 2009. All trials were performed at Variety Testing Experimental Station at Słupia Wielka. It has been shown that reduction in the number of measurements from 60 to 30 will have very limited impact on decisions concerning distinctness of tested varieties.
