Selection of superior sweet potato genotypes for human consumption via mixed models

The growing consumer demand for sweet potato roots results in the need genotypes with higher yields and better root quality. Thus, objective of this study was to agronomically evaluate via mixed models select superior human consumption predict their selection gains. had a partially balanced triple lattice design three replicates. As treatments, 92 from Universidade Federal de Lavras germplasm bank selected first cycle were evaluated along eight controls, namely, Brazlândia Roxa, Princesa, Uruguaiana, BRS Amélia, Beauregard, UFVJM-57, UFVJM-58, UFVJM-61. treatments ranked by linear model restricted maximum likelihood (REML) best unbiased prediction (BLUP). We highlighted 15 each agronomic trait, then identified ones overall considering all quantitative qualitative traits. High heritability found trait commercial yield (56.31%). For traits, there gains relative population mean. use efficient genotypes. 2018-19-464, 2018-72-1409, 2018-72-1428, 2018-19-443, 2018-36-807, 2018-72-1418, 2018-19-455, 2018-72-1376, 2018-54-1137, 2018-54-1114, 2018-65-1249, 2018-28-556 have good traits related quality may be recommended consumption.
