Abstract

Chickpea is grown in diverse agro-climatic conditions and various varieties respond differently to these environments. Stability analysis identifies adaptable varieties that yield consistently across regions. Our study focuses on identifying high-yield, reliable chickpea varieties through extensive multi-environment trials.

To accomplish our research goal, we conducted a comprehensive stability analysis during 2020-21 and 2021-22 using 12 different methods which include parametric, non-parametric and PCA-based AMMI, GGE biplot analysis. This extensive analysis was applied to six distinct Chickpea varieties cultivated in three diverse environments.

CSJ515 consistently demonstrated stability in all 10 analyses, while GNG2144 and RSG959 showed stability in 7 analyses. GNG1958 exhibited stability in four analyses and GNG2171 and RSG974 were stable in 3 and 2 analyses, respectively. These results suggest that CSJ515, GNG2144 and RSG959 have broad and stable adaptability across diverse environments.
