“…The superiority of the temporary environmental variance (V te ) in relation to the permanent phenotypic variance estimated between plants (V pp ) (Table 2) indicate that these characteristics are highly influenced by environmental conditions. Results similar to these were reported by Carvalho et al (2023) for yield, number of bunches, bunch traits, soluble solids content, titratable acidity and ratio; Sanchéz et al (2017) for fruit production; and Sales et al (2019) for all the variables evaluated by them (yield, bunch weight, soluble solids content, and ratio), with the exception of the number of bunches, in which the V pp values were greater than the V te values. In contrast, Leão et al (2018) detected higher V pp…”
