It also has been successfully used in crop trials, including oats, peanut, rapeseed, soybean, wheat, cotton, sunflower, and sugarcane. Look back up to the vector map, and identify the arrows pointing in the same direction as the red cluster or pointing in a direction so that the red points will project toward the high end of the arrow. Our online exams are a quarter the length of the actual ged and will give you a sense of what to expect on test day. While many plant breeders and agricultural researchers are enthusiastic about the capacity of biplot analysis in helping them to understand their research data, some statisticians consider the use of biplots as a sidetrack to genotypebyenvironment interaction.
