Fruit Breeding in Arkansas

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1969
The performance of a fruit variety is dependent upon an interaction between the genotype of the plant and the environment in which it is grown. The plant genotype sets the broad limits of production and quality performance, and the prevailing environment determines the performance within the genetically controlled limits of the variety. For this reason,
