Simultaneous multitrait selection in plant breeding requires knowledge of the relative values or tradeoffs, of the various traits being considered. An optimization model is developed which will allow quantification of the relative weights present in a breeder's subjective ranking of genotypes, the ranking being based on the apparent relative value of the genotypes. The model is completely general in nature. It allows specification of nonlinear solution functions as well as a linear solution function. It is not specific to any single plant species, nor is it specific to any number or type of traits.
