An experiment having 15 lines and 5 testers, need software to calculate as line X tester fashion.
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.
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
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...
library(agricolae) #Function: lineXtester
# example 1
data(LxT)
head(LxT)
# replication line tester yield
#1 1 1 6 74.40
#2 2 1 6 70.86

AGD-R software released by CIMMYT is the best software for it. Try it.
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.
hello all, i have a question about selecting testers in rice, i searched in all questions and found this place, so please excuse me if i ask about rice here, so do you have any idea to give me a information about how can i select a parent as a tester in rice breeding programs? for example which character must shown in rice that i can select it as tester? thanks a lot all researchers and excuse me again.
