Summary of best performing GS experiments for predicting grain yield (YLD), flowering time (FL), and plant height (PH) in the 2012 dry season (2012 DS) and the 2012 WS (2012 WS)

TP = Training population, all = both dry and wet seasons for each year, DS only = dry seasons only for each year. VP = validation population. Accuracy = correlation of the predicted GEBV and the phenotype in the validation population, where the training population included the validation season/year for individuals not in the validation fold. Statistical methods not connected by the same letter performed significantly different from each other across experiments by pairwise students t (α = .05).Summary of best performing GS experiments for predicting grain yield (YLD), flowering time (FL), and plant height (PH) in the 2012 dry season (2012 DS) and the 2012 WS (2012 WS)
