Selection for high spike fertility index increases genetic progress in grain yield and stability in bread wheat [PDF]
, 2018 Spike fertility index (SF) has been proposed as a promising trait to be used as a selection criterion in wheat breeding programs aimed at increasing grain yield, but no actual evidence of its successful application has been reported.
