A study on stability analysis was carried out in 30 diverse genotypes of ricebean (Vigna umbellata Thunb.) in eastern hill region of India. Significant differences among the genotypes over the years were observed for all the three traits studied. The first two principal components axis (IPCA1, 90.4% and IPCA2, 9.6%) could explain 100% of the total of the interaction variation. Correlation study showed that the stability parameters are highly associated with each other (p <0.01). Multi trait stability index and genotype selection along with strength and weakness view of the genotypes to the traits inferred higher productivity of BSKB 28 (G29) for number of pods/plant and seed yield/plant and Ukhrul 15 (G17) for number of seeds/pod. Different stability measures selected seven genotypes, namely, Bete 6 (G22), IC002567 (G8), Ukhrul 6 (G13), Ukhrul 14 (G16), Ukhrul 15 (G17), Bete 4 (G21) and BSKB 3 (G28) as the most desirable and stable performing with good yield over the years.
