PHENOTYPIC STABILITY FOR YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN GRAIN SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH)

Abstract

An evaluation of twenty grain sorghum entries comprising fifteen varieties and five hybrids, in eight different evironments, showed significant genotype x environment interactions for all the eight characters studied. Both linear and non-linear components of GXE were significant. KS 6312, CSH 1, CSHS, COH 3 and KT were identified as suitable genotypes for favourable environments. CSH 9 was found to be the most stable genotype with the least mean square deviation. "b" value nearer to unity and high grain yield.
