The problem of optimal relationship between the number of replicates and measurements in a single DUST (distinctness, uniformity and stability) trial is discussed. The solution is searched in which the discriminating power of characteristics is taken into account. All the problems discussed are illustrated with the use of the results of the DUST trial on winter rye conducted at Słupia Wielka experimental station in which eight characteristics were observed.
distinctness, uniformity, stability, optimality, discriminating power.
