Adaptability and stability via mixed models in elephantgrass (Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone) varieties for energy purposes

Moisés Ambrósio,
Rogério Figueiredo Daher,
Josefa Grasiela Silva Santana
et al.

Abstract: Elephant grass stands out among lignocellulosic biomass plants utilized for second-generation biofuel production due to several advantageous characteristics compared to other raw materials. Its short production cycle and ability to thrive in adverse soil and climate conditions contribute to its appeal. Additionally, breeders seek genotypes with high productivity potential and adaptability to various favorable cultivation environments. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters, predict genetic values usin… Show more

“…The BLUP estimators are efficient to select genotypes for low-heritability traits, allowing genetic gains to be achieved with selection (Ferreira et al 2016). Ambrósio et al (2023), when evaluating 40 genotypes of elephant grass, also obtained low heritability values. However, even with the low heritability values, it was possible to achieve gains of more than 3 t.ha -1 .…”
