Summary
The relationship, over environments, of yield in mixtures (simulating F2 conditions) and in pure culture (simulating late generations) was examined for seven bean varieties. The interaction between yield in mixed culture and the environment was studied by joint regression analysis. Seed size affected survival in mixtures and its importance on selection for high yield in crop conditions is discussed.
