Table 2 Estimates of genetic parameters from the two linear mixed models (a) with independent units and (b) with autoregressive order one spatial residual structure. \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) is additive genetic variance; \({\sigma }_{e}^{2}\) is residual variance; \({\sigma }_{\eta }^{2}\) is random residual variance from spatial model; ρcol and ρrow are autocorrelations for the columns and rows, respectively; \({h}_{i}^{2}\) is individual narrow-sense heritability. Standard errors of estimates are given in parentheses
