RESUMO

This study was performed on the basis of experimental results concerning RB genotypes belonging to Series 92 of the sugarcane breeding program of the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (PMGCA - UFSCar), having as purpose to evaluate representativeness of the locations that compose its experimental net. This way, the characters tons of cane per hectare (TCH), Pol % sugar (PC) and Tons of Pol per hectare (TPH) of 15 RB genotypes cultivated in 13 locations, were evaluated. These locations belongs to the following Sugar factories: Santa Fé, Santa Luíza, Santa Terezinha, São Martinho, Cocal, Bonfim, Santa Elisa - 1, Cruz Alta, Iturama, Aralco, Lucélia, Sonora and Santa Elisa - 2. From the individual and joint analyses of variance, tests of grouping based on the methodology of Lin which is based on the Square of Euclidean distance for grouping locations that present similarity in behavior of the genotypes were carried out; however, with two significance criteria of the genotypes by locations interaction, such as: p 0,05 (original) and p 0,30 (modified), for those three parameters evaluated. The original Lin (p0,05) methodology was shown not to be very precise allowing grouping locations that presented average mean squares values of the interaction genotypes by locations very close to the significance. On the other hand, the modified Lin methodology (p 0,30) showed to be more precise, presenting, therefore, less possibilities of grouping. Thus, by using the modified Lin methodology (1982), it can be noticed that if the three characters (TCH, PC and TPH) are simultaneously considered , only the locations related to Santa Fé and Cruz Alta Sugar factories could be joined to form a group, and that would make possible the reduction from 13 to 12 experimental locations. This result show that the locations of experimentation of the UFSCar breeding program are well representative of the studied regions.
