Abstract

Fifty mungbean genotypes were raised in three different environments (different sowing dates) to study the environment and GxE interaction components. The study revealed significant differences for all the characters, indicating wide differences between environments and differential behaviour of genotypes in different environments The linear and non-linear GxE components were significant for all the characters, indicating the importance of both predictable and unpredictable components in determining interaction of the genotypes with environments. The genotype LGG-460 was stable for seed yield per plant in average environmental conditions whereas Co-5, LGG-427 and LGG-470 considered to be stable for poor environmental conditions. Hence these genotypes could be used in further breeding programme.
