the rule of thumb that a genetic correlation between environments below about 0.8 signals genotype-by-environment interaction important for breeding.

In animal breeding, Robertson's 0.8 threshold refers to the rule of thumb that a genetic correlation between environments below about 0.8 signals genotype-by-environment interaction important for breeding. This meaning comes from Robertson (1959) in Biometrics.[1]
