Dear Budi

Thank u so much for your nice cooperation.

There are many statistical packages for Line x tester analysis: (i) SPAR 3.0 (developed by IASRI, New Delhi, India); (ii) TNAUSTAT (developed by Tamilnadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, TN, India; (iii) NBS (Beijing China-agri BRAINS Science &Technology Co., Ltd.; (iv) SPSS (developed by IBM software) etc.

Dear Sarvjeet

Received with thanks of your suggestions.

SPSS 17 verson is best

try GENRES or Agres

Spss

Indostat

Dear All

Thanks for your suggestion.

It can be done in Indostat program.

SPAR 2.0 and CropStat 7.2, these are reliable and perfect.

Use Indostat Program.

There is very handy code for line x tester analysis using R. It follows the method of Singh and Chaudhary 1979. Just make a data file and run the script.

Thanks Mohammad Tahir for your reply. But, is it possible for you to give me a format about this? How can I run this software? Before I was trying many time but failure. Waiting for you reply. THANKING YOU.

You can download the 'R' Software for free from the internet. You will have to add a package 'Agricolae' to it and then run the script for line x tester analysis. Feel free if you need further assistance.

Do you know the pooled analysis of line x tester (over several locations)

You can do that easily with SAS. You SOV may contain locations, Entries, Parents, parents vs hybrids, and locations x Entries, locations x parents, locations x hybrid effects.

Thank you Dr. Tahir

can you please provide the sas code for that analysis

You could contact Violeta Bartolome   of International Rice Research Institute to get the macro for line x tester. She will send you the macro. If you have further questions, she'll definitely answer.

You can perform this with plant breeding package in R/RStudio Sofware:

install.packages("plantbreeding",repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")

library(plantbreeding)

data(linetester)

pls

And the same could be done using PLABSTAT.

Do it using R/RStudio softwares:

install.packages("plantbreeding",repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")

data(linetester)

pls

You can also try AGD-R software released by CIMMYT.  You can get it from the following link. Here you will find Diallel, Line X tester and North Carolina analysis.

Try this out in R...

AGD-R software released by CIMMYT is the best software for it. Try it.

Thank you so much John... for your suggestion..

R software can be used. Windostat and spar softwares are another options

Use TNAUSTAT Statistical package. It is easy to access and user friendly.

No license and no subscription charges.

TNAUSTAT package can be downloaded along with user manual at https://sites.google.com/site/tnaustat/plant-breeding-heterosis.

If any queries further write a mail to [email protected]

i wish to do line x tester analysis without replicating the treatmenrts (Augmented design) over diffwerent locations. Can u suggest me how to do

I would like to suggest you to use AGD-R and Eval_LxT software developed by CIMMYT.

both are a user friendly software which not need syntax (script) but you need to install R-software on your PC.
