Mean (BLUE) mean performance data for the top 10 new testcross and six check hybrids evaluated under water-stressed conditions. The dataset is hosted on figshare by author Goshime Muluneh Mekasha and was last updated on June 3, 2026. It is a small dataset of 13.5 KB available in XLS format.
Use Cases
- Compare hybrid performance under drought stress based on mean BLUE values.
- Benchmark new testcross hybrids against established check hybrids.
- Select candidate hybrids for further breeding programs based on water-stress resilience.
Strengths
- Mean performance data for 16 specific hybrids (10 testcross and 6 check).
- Data is focused on a specific agricultural condition: water stress.
- Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small (13.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
