Abstract
Using a decision-theory concept known as safety-first, an index incorporating mean yield and stability was developed for each of 4 different definitions of stability. Data from an international experimental maize yield trial were used to illustrate the application of these indices when genotype × environment interactions occur. It is concluded that safety-first selection indices can be useful to plant breeders when the genotype × environment interaction is large and poor yield has severely adverse consequences
