Stability analysis for yield and yield contributing traits in early pigeon pea under irrigated conditions
Abstract
The field experiment were conducted during kharif 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 to know the stable performance of early pigeon pea genotypes under irrigated condition. Nine genotypes of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) were evaluated in RBD with three replications for four years. Variances due to genotypes and environments were significant for all the characters except number of pods/plant. Simultaneous consideration of stability parameters showed that ‘METH 121’, had better stability over the environments under irrigated conditions. Genotypes viz., ‘TT 2000’ and ‘TAT 9903’ were better for favourable environments, whereas ‘MA 29’ was suitable for unfavourable environments.
