Stability parameters for shoot fly resistance were studied by evaluating eight parents and twenty eight hybrids under three different levels of shoot fly infestation. ‘IS 5490’, ‘IS 5604, ’ ‘IS 5490 x IS 5604’ exhibited high degree of resistance and greater phenotypic stability to changing shoot fly population. In general, resistant parents, resistant x susceptible hybrids and susceptible parents registered less than 1, 1 and more than 1 regression coefficient respectively. The segregating populations of resistant x susceptible crosses can be exploited for isolating resistant lines with desirable agronomic attributes.
