Abstract
Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the experimental precision of ten statistics in the evaluation of characters related to the technological quality of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lines. Seventeen experiments were carried out between 2010 and 2019, with 116 common bean genotypes of different types of grain. Technological quality was determined for the following characters: mass of 100 grains, grain lightness value (L*), absorption, and cooking time. A significant genotype effect was obtained in 100% of the experiments for L* value and mass of 100 grains, in 76.92% for absorption, and in 94.12% for cooking time. The L* value and mass of 100 grains were determined with a high experimental precision by all statistics. Absorption and cooking time showed a high experimental precision, when analyzed by the following statistics: F-test value for genotype (Fc), genetic variation coefficient (GVC), relative variation coefficient (RVC), heritability (h2), and selective accuracy (SA). The statistics Fc, GVC, RVC, h2, and SA provided a high experimental precision in the evaluation of the characters related to technological quality in common bean lines. Selective accuracy is the most appropriate statistics to select superior common bean lines for grain and cooking quality in breeding programs.
