Abstract

Four male steriles, 20 inbreds, and 80 F1 hybrids of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L. Leeke) were evaluated under five environments. Highly significant genotype X environment interactions were recorded, though the linear portion was significantly higher than the nonlinear portion in parents and their hybrids, the hybrids being more stable than parents.
