TABLE 1.
Variance components estimates and respective standard errors, obtained with the fitting of the univariate linear mixed model for SLT in 2014, 2015, and 2016, and the P-value of the likelihood ratio test for variance components (testing the null hypothesis if the variance component is zero).
| Year | Variance component | Estimate (SE) | P |
| 2014 | Genotypic | 0.664 (0.108) | <0.001 |
| Incomplete block within complete block | 6.157 (0.970) | <0.001 | |
| Leaf (within plot) | 7.034 (0.176) | <0.001 | |
| Error | 0.606 (0.005) | ||
| 2015 | Genotypic | 0.725 (0.104) | <0.001 |
| Incomplete block within complete block | 6.910 (1.081) | <0.001 | |
| Leaf (within plot) | 5.609 (0.140) | <0.001 | |
| Error | 0.441 (0.003) | ||
| 2016 | Genotypic | 0.766 (0.115) | <0.001 |
| Incomplete block within complete block | 4.308 (0.687) | <0.001 | |
| Leaf (within plot) | 6.623 (0.165) | <0.001 | |
| Error | 0.365 (0.003) |
For the fixed-effects factor of the experimental design (complete block), the effect was significant in the 3 years (P < 0.01).
