Abstract

The phenotypic stability of 45 genotypes of okra (36 hybrids and 9 parents) grown over three environments was studied for fruit yield per plant. Variance due to genotypes, environments, G x E(linear) component was highly significant for this character. However, non-linear component of G x E interactions was greater in magnitude. In general, hybrids showed greatest production and stability.
