Multi-trait selection of female parents in Megathyrsus maximus using desired Gains Index Based on BLUPs

Efficient parent selection in forage breeding requires the simultaneous improvement of productivity, environmental adaptation, and nutritional quality. In this study, a multi-trait Desired Gains Index (DGI) based on Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (BLUPs) was implemented to identify superior female...
