| Abstract: | The present paper deals with the estimation of design and genetic components of variance based on full double crosses and partial tetra-allel crosses. We have presented the explicit experissions for the symmetric sums estimators of design components of variance based on Hinkelmann's model. Consequently we have also presented explicitly the genetic components of variance based on full double crosses and partial tetra-allel crosses. The procedure is also illustrated with the help of a hypothetical data. |
