Forty-two genotypes of taramira (Eruca sativa Mill.) were evaluated for genetic parameters of variation and stability of yield and its related traits over three different environments created by three dates of sowing during Rabi 2009–2010. Environment-wise analysis of variance revealed that in first environment significant differences were observed for all the characters except oil content, in second environment significant differences were observed for all the characters except seed yield and test weight, whereas in third environment, days to maturity showed non-significant difference. The stability analysis following Eberhart and Russell model revealed that based on stability parameters the genotypes RTM-619, RTM-715 and RTM-751 were found suitable for optimum sowing conditions. Genotypes RTM-603, RTM-644, RTM-673, RTM-707, RTM-754 and RTM-781 were found stable and desirable, therefore, these genotypes should be used in hybridisation programme to get segregantes, which will also be high yielding.
