The book is an academic and practical reference on statistical and genetic methods used for analysing mating designs in plant breeding and related biological sciences. Written in a simple and accessible manner, the book presents the methodology, generalized formulae, statistical techniques and implementation procedures associated with major mating-design approaches.

The book covers Complete Diallel Analysis using Hayman’s Method, Griffing’s Methods I–IV, Partial Diallel Analysis, North Carolina Designs I–III, and Line × Tester Analysis. These methods provide important tools for studying genetic variation, combining ability, variance components and inheritance patterns in breeding populations.

The book is designed to support students, researchers, plant breeders, agricultural scientists, statisticians, teachers and professionals who need a practical understanding of mating-design analysis and its application to experimental data.
