Abstract

Stability parameters alongwith per se performance of 58 genotypes were worked out for 6 characters under 3 environments. Highly significant differences among the genotypes and genotype × environment interaction for all the characters were observed. Both the environment (linear) and G × E (linear) were differed significantly for all the characters when tested against pooled error. None of the genotypes showed uniform stability for all the characters. Variety CTR (Coimbatore) and LA 92 were stable for 4 characters, while LA 40, LA 61, LA 89 and GKVK showed stable performance for 3 out of 6 characters.
