ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out during kharif 2012 at the Agricultural Research Station, Gulbarga and other four locations located in north eastern dry zone (Zone 2) of Karnataka, to know the stability of the nineteen advanced genotypes of pigeonpea. Highly significant differences among genotypes were observed for all the characters except number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed yield per plant. The variance due to Genotype x Environment found significant for the characters like days to 80% pod maturity and number of seeds per pod. Environment (linear) interaction component was significant for all the traits. The variance due to pooled deviation (non- linear) was highly significant for all the characters except for number of seeds per pod which reflect considerable genetic diversity in the material. Out of 19 genotypes studied two entries viz., GRG-109 and GRG-107 were consistent and high yielding compared to local checks.
