Phenotypic stability in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.)

Thirty genotypes of foxtail millet were tested in four different environments. The results were analysed on the basis of stability parameters for days to flowering, maturity and plant height. Highly significant mean squares were observed for genotypes, genotype x environment and environment (linear). CZS-5 and SN-6 were the most stable genotypes with respect to flowering, SN-27 was highly stable for maturity, and SIC-9 for plant height. It indicates that there is no correlation among these parameters.
