Percent of maximum heterosis exploited in a two-step selection program as a function of the proportion of animals selected in step 1. In step 1 animals are selected based solely on predicted heterosis (accuracy of prediction=0.5). In step two the pre-selected animals are field-tested and a final selection is made based on true/observed heterosis. The overall proportion of selected animals is 10% (see Materials and Methods).
