Drought is the most severe production constraint for fenugreek worldwide. Identification and screening of drought tolerant genotype is necessary for mitigation the problem. This study aimed to find out the repeatability of drought tolerance indices for selection of high yielding fenugreek genotypes. Thirty genotypes of fenugreek were sown in RBD with three replications under two moisture regimes for two year during Rabi season. Rank correlation between seed yield and drought tolerant indices was highly correlated. PCAindicated that first and second PCA accounted for 97.10 and 93.70% of variations for proline content and seed yield. Consequently, GGE biplot showed that the genotypes RMt305, GM-1, RMt-303, RMt-143, RMt-351 and GM-2 were ideal for un-predictable environments.
