Abstract
Five barnyardmillet genotypes viz., Sadai kudiraivali, Pullu kudiraivali, CO (KV) 2, VL 29 and
VL 172 were evaluated over five different environments to study the stability parameters
viz., regression coefficient (bi) and mean square deviations (S 2 d i ). Variances due to genotype,
environment, genotype x environment, environment (linear) and pooled deviation were
significant for days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height and grain yield.
Based on the stability analysis, the genotype CO (KV) 2 was found to be stable across five
different environments for days to maturity, plant height and grain yield. Hence, it may be
recommended for the commercial cultivation in these five environments.
