Resumen
The recommendation of sugarcane clones depends on several factors, as the response or performance of the clones over different cuts or harvests. The clone by harvest interaction might be difficult to
identify superior clones in the final stages of the sugarcane breeding program. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate and describe the implications of the genotype by harvest interaction in the adaptability
and stability of genotypes and delineation of mega-environments from a set of multi-environment trials. Fifteen clones and four checks were evaluated in eight environments. The trait TPH (tons of pol per hectare) was evaluated in two harvests (plant cane and ratoon cane) in 2010 and 2011. The joint analysis showed significance for harvest (H), environment (E), and genotype (G) effects. The interactions GxE, ExH, GxH, and ExGxH were also significant. The last three-way interaction indicated
the differential response of the genotypes over environments, and that it
depends on the harvests. The overall mean of the trials was 12.77 TPH.
The coefficient of variation was 8.70% and the selective accuracy was
98.63%, indicating high experimental precision. The genotypes G4, G14,
and G16 were statistically superior to the check varieties used; however,
these genotypes did not show high stability as described by the additive
main effects and multiplicative interaction method. There was a specific
adaptation between the E7 and E5 environments and the G4 and G5
genotypes, respectively. In general, the grouping of the environments
was inconsistent throughout the harvests, except for the E1 and E4
environments, which exhibited similarities for the different genotypes.
