Abstract
The objective of this publication was to show a possibility of some statistical methods application for non-orthogonal data in plant breeding. The most attention was given to field trials at the first stage of breeding, especially to the one-replication trials. Also, a synthesis of group trials with different genotypes at one or more localities was discussed. Moreover, the analysis and interpretation of genotypic effect and genotype-environmental interaction were given. All the considerations were exemplified with didactic appeals.
