To improve multi-environmental trial (MET) analysis, a compound method—which combines factor analytic (FA) model with additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment interaction (GGE) biplot—was conducted in this study. The diameter at breast height of 36 open-pollinated (OP) families of Pinus taeda at six sites in South China was used as a raw dataset. The best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) data of all individual trees in each site was obtained by fitting the spatial effects with the FA method from raw data. The raw data and BLUP data were analyzed and compared by using the AMMI and GGE biplot. BLUP results showed that the six sites were heterogeneous and spatial variation could be effectively fitted by spatial analysis with the FA method. AMMI analysis identified that two datasets had highly significant effects on the site, family, and their interactions, while BLUP data had a smaller residual error, but higher variation explaining ability and more credible stability than raw data. GGE biplot results revealed that raw data and BLUP data had different results in mega-environment delineation, test-environment evaluation, and genotype evaluation. In addition, BLUP data results were more reasonable due to the stronger analytical ability of the first two principal components. Our study suggests that the compound method combing the FA method with the AMMI and GGE biplot could improve the analysis result of MET data in Pinus teada as it was more reliable than direct AMMI and GGE biplot analysis on raw data.
