Summary
As the sequel to a paper that dealt with the theoretical aspects of linear and bilinear models for the analysis of genotype by environment interaction in multi-environment trials, this paper presents an illustration of the application of these models to real life data. The data come from maize trials that were conducted within the ongoing evaluation programme for the Dutch Descriptive Variety List of Field Crops. The variable that is analyzed is dry matter content. It is shown how linear and bilinear models can be used supplementary to each other within a general strategy for dealing with genotype by environment interaction.
