Abstract:
The present investigation carried out by the assess the phenotypic stability for grain yield and its contributing characters under three different environmental conditions using eight diverse barley parents along with their 28 F₁. The mean sum of square due to genotype and environment were found to be significant for all the characters showed differential effect of environment on genotypes. The mean sum square due to environment +(G x E) interaction was found significant for all the studies characters, G x E (linear) were also found significantly for all the character except number of spikelet’s per spike and G x E (linear) showed significantly for all the character except the number of spikelet’s per spike and harvest index. The genotypes RD2904 x RD2909, BH902 x DWR143 and RD2904 x DWR137 had higher grain and were suitable for variable environment conditions. These genotypes could be utilized as a donor in regular breeding programme to improve grain yield and its contributing characters in barley.
