Stability analysis for yield and yield contributing traits in finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn)

Abstract

Fifteen finger millet genotypes were evaluated for three environments to examine the stability of these genotypes for grain yield and its related traits. Out of fifteen genotypes GE-1680, Kanika reddy, IVT-25, Nagli Dapoli-1 (Check) recorded average stability for number of fingers per ear indicated wide adoptability of these genotypes under all environments. Genotype showing better performance under favourable performance PEH-1201, VL-149, NDS-1 (Check) for length of finger (cm). General stability for grain yield per plant found in the genotypes TNAU-1214, IVT-11. These genotype can be used for further breeding programme.
