GGE BIPLOT ANALYSIS FOR YIELD PERFORMANCE OF GRAIN AMARANTH GENOTYPES ACROSS DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS IN WESTERN INDIA
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Stable performance of grain amaranths genotypes at specific environment is critical for obtaining high and consistent yield. This study was conducted to assess grain yield stability of thirteen genotypes in varied environments in three successive growing seasons and effects of genotype (G) and genotype×environment (GE) interaction were illustrate graphically based on “what-won-where” to advocate genotypes for a specific environment, using GGE biplot. Result of study revealed that GGE biplot was effective to recognize stable and highest yield (1648.92 kg/ha) genotype as G5 followed by G6 (1457.24 kg/ha) and G3 (1268.62 kg/ha) genotypes while the genotype G7 had the lowest grain yield and was the least stable across varying environments. This study could be aid tool for endorsement of amaranths genotypes for specific environment, taking into elucidation the peculiarities of genotypes and growing stipulation.
