Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Evaluations with a uniform plant stand are fundamental for efficient selections in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) breeding. However, it is difficult to correct data of missing plants. The overall objective of this study was to analyze yield losses in agronomic trials and to develop a function that satisfactorily adjusts plot yields affected by a varying number of missing plants. Eight clones were initially evaluated in different locations for five consecutive years. For every genotype, mean plot yields decreased as the number of missing plants increased. Average losses ranged from 10.6 to 78.8% by removing from one to eight plants, respectively. Yields per plant increased significantly when more than four plants were removed due to a compensatory growth effect. Graphic analyses showed that the power function was the best explaining the relationship between fresh root yield and number of harvested plants. A model that properly adjusted yield for all varieties but one is proposed. Hopefully, this formula to adjust yields will help to improve the quality of cassava trials worldwide. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
