For D13C, only CIMMYT (Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y individual regressions could be forecast under FI (r2: 0.25–0.37) Trigo), with good agronomic characteristics were evaluated and MWS (r2 2 : 0.45–0.59) but not under SWS (r : 0.03–0.09). under the Mediterranean conditions of central Chile. Three NIR‐based SRI proved to be better predictors than those that different water regimes were assayed: severe water stress combine visible and NIR wavelengths. (SWS, rain fed), mild water stress (MWS; one irrigation around booting), and full irrigation (FI; four irrigations: at tillering, Keywords: Breeding; drought; dry
