In
this chapter, a new method of constructing a partial diallel cross plan using
the two blocked (equal block) and unblocked (unequal block) balanced incomplete
block designs d1 and d2, and each design has two sets of parameters m1, m2, and
n1, n2, where S0 ≥6 with parameters v,b,r,k and λ, is proposed. In plant breeding
operations, diallel crossings are employed to explore the genetic
characteristics of inbred lines. Using the linear model, estimated only the
general combining ability effects. The crosses were taken based on the design
parameters, and each cross occurred only once in constructing the partial
diallel cross plan. When the number of lines (v) increases, the efficiency
factor (Ep) and efficiency factor (E*) per cross will increase. The constructed
method is also illustrated with a suitable example. The MS-optimality criterion
is significantly more straightforward than traditional criteria since it allows
for algebraic findings in an area where different criteria are typically only
evaluated numerically, design by design.
