Stability analysis using 15 diverse genotypes of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) evaluated under four environments (varying dates of sowing and fertilizer application condition) was carried out for eight characters. The ANOVA indicated significant differences for genotype, environments and most of the characters under study. Genotype environment interaction was significant for plant height, seeds per plant, pods per plant, and harvest index thereby suggesting that genotypes differed under varying environments for these characters. Genotype L-7357, L-7359, L-4076, L-4660 and LP-10207 were found stable with high mean value, least deviation from regression and average response (bi near to unity).
