Abstract

Black gram is an important pulse in the Indian kitchen and considered as the good nutritional source as well as ayurvedic remedy. It is grown all over the India as rotational crop or inter-crop. The growth and yield of the crop are widely influenced by its “genotype x environment interaction”. The stability of the crop has been determined on the basis of various statistical models. Therefore, an attempt has been made to review the previous studies in the context of yield and its component characters in the diversified environmental conditions.
