Abstract: Crop variety regional trial is the basis of variety registration. The precision of regional trial directly influences the merits of approved varieties. According to new national certification standards, new rice varieties should yield more than 3% compared with the control, requiring much higher precision of the experiments. Since 1999, the national rice regional trials in northern China have been implemented for 10 years. It is extremely important for the variety approval committee to known that whether or not the experiments precision can reach the national registration requirements. Based on the data from rice variety regional trials in northern China from 1999 to 2008, we analyzed the experiment error precision (EP) and variety comparison precision (VCP) at two experiment levels. The results was as follows: (1)The average coefficient of variation (CV) and relative LSD (RLSD) in one-location-one-year experiments were 4.3% and 7.4% respectively, indicating the trials were well controlled. Both EP and VCP in one-location-one-year experiments were desirable. (2)The average CV and RLSD in most of multi-location-one-year experiments were lower than 5% and 3% respectively. The EP and VCP in multi-location-one-year experiments were desirable and met the requirements of the State Variety Approval. (3) Under the existing design of experiments,reducing experimental errors in the trials is the main way to improve the accuracy of one-location-one-year experiment. In addition to reducing experimental errors in the trials, the appropriate increase in the number of experiment sites is also a very effective choice to improve the accuracy of multi-location-one-year experiments.
