A good understanding of both phenotypic and genetic variation among plants starts with an adequate experimental design. Depending on the objective of the breeding program, recommendations are made regarding the preferred size of a multi-parental population, the number of crossings to be made, how traits of interest can best be scored with phenotyping protocols and how multi-environment trials can be designed best.
