Effect of fertilizer on stability parameters of thirty five genotypes of Capsularis jute were evaluated for fibre yield in three successive years. Both predictable and unpredictable components of genotype x environment interactions were significant, being almost equal in magnitude at each fertilizer level. The genotypes T 2, T 8, JRC-7447 and JRC-212, were responsive to fertilizer and showed stability under high fertilizer level only. The genotypes T 1, T 8, T 24, JRC-1108 and D-154 exhibited their stability under adverse environments only. A crossing programme is suggested using parents from the two groups for improvement of adaptability, fertilizer response, and high fibre yield in Capsularis jute.
