Abstract

Twenty five salinity-alkalinity tolerant rice varieties tested under sodic soil conditions over four years indicated presence of considerable genetic variation among genotypes. None of the genotype showed stability for all the traits studied. Genotype 2107 showed stability for five traits and recorded low stable grain yield. Genotype 2114 (SSRC 92217)alone recorded stable grain yield of 3072 kg/ha with average response, suitable for all environments. The genotype 2122 (SSRC 91216) recorded 3036 kg/ha of grain yield with below average response and suitable for unfavourable environment. This entry recorded above average mean for all other parameters but were not stable.
