Abstract

Confidence intervals are constructed for the expected responses to three types of multi-trait selection. The influence of numbers of replicates and genotypes used in a progeny test experiment on the precision of response of multi-trait selection is discussed based on the structure of the established intervals. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of the intervals constructed for the conventional least square selection indices.
