TABLE 1.

Within generation predictions of traits assessed on the ‘Buffalo’ × ‘Tardis’ population with different generations of phenotyping (GenP) and genotyping (GenG) assessed in a range of years in field (F) or polytunnel (PT) trials. The ridge regression best linear unbiased predictor (RR‐BLUP) predictions are made across the full set of available lines (All), and within Dw6 classes (Tall, Dwarf). SD, standard deviation
