Abstract:
An experiment was conducted for estimating the stability parameters for yield and its related traits and identifying the stable genotypes in Indian mustard. Eleven elite genotypes along with 4 checks were evaluated during winter season (rabi) 2019-20 and 2020-21 at three different environments in 4 replications. Analysis of variance was estimated individually and pooled over the years for 5 characters viz. days to 50% flowering, number of branches plant^-1, plant height, number of siliquae plant^-1 and seed yield plant^-1. Estimate of environment wise analysis of variance suggested the significant differences for all the characters in all six environments. Significant mean squares due to environments were also observed for all the traits under study showed that environments selected for study were random and different in agro-climatic conditions. Genotypes x y interactions were significant for all the characters. The genotype ACN-184 ranked second for seed yield and was observed to be ideally stable for seed yield plant^-1, number of siliquae plant^-1 and number of branches plant^-1 whereas genotype ACN-141 was ranked first for seed yield and stable for number of siliquae plant^-1 and seed yield plant^-1.
