Abstract

In this paper three new concepts of cultivar’s wide adaptation degree in I, II and III sense, respectively were presented. It was recognized that cultivar’s wide adaptation degree in any considered sense can be measured using some statistical indices (measures) called quantitative measures of cultivar’s wide adaptation degree in I, II and III sense. To do this, adequate quantitative measures like superiority measure, Pi, Eskridge’s yield reliability measure, Ri and Eskridge’s yield reliability function, Ri(d) were selected. A hypothesis was formulated that the three measures of cultivar’s wide adaptation degree can evaluate consistently, in order sense, wide adaptation degree of the tested cultivars although it is described by each of them in a specific way. The hypothesis was tested using the data for grain yield of winter wheat from 15 of preliminary yield trials carried out across the years 1993–2007. As a result of the empirical studies good agreements were proved (high Spearman rank correlation coefficients) between each of pairs of quantitative measures of cultivar’s wide adaptation degree in I, II and III sense within all sets of cultivars. Then, one may conclude that in evaluating wheat cultivar’s wide adaptation degree only one of the considered measures could be sufficient. The conducted studies, as based on winter wheat grain yield data delivered new results regarding the investigated crop species. However, the conclusions also deliver important primary viewing on usefulness of the measures for evaluating adaptation degree of cultivars in other crops.
