Rank based stability measures to select stable and adapted dual purpose barley (Hordeum vulgare L) genotypes
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Seventeen promising dual purpose barley genotypes were evaluated at eleven major barley producing locations of the country by distribution free nonparametric measures. Average forage yield identified higher yielder genotypes as RD2928, RD2927 and JB325 while descriptive statistics pointed out towards KB1420, RD2927 and KB1401 & JB322. Nonparametric measures showed highly significant positive correlation among these measures. More over Si6 expressed no correlation with measures based on corrected yield values. Ward’s method of clustering based on 21 nonparametric measures along with average forage yield, clustered the with higher to moderate yielding genotypes into group comprised of RD29276, AZAD, UPB1053, RD2552, BH1010 and KB1401 genotypes. Descriptive statistics based on grain yield MR pointed towards RD2925, BH1008 and SD for KB1401, UPB1054 whereas CV for JB322, RD2925 as stable genotypes at the same time AZAD, NDB1650 based on MR, UPB1053, RD2715 based on SD and AZAD, RD2035 based on CV were most unstable. Spearman’s rank correlation established highly significant positive correlation of mean yield with SD, Si1, Si2, Si5, Si7 whereas negative association was observed for MR, Med. NPi(2) expressed negative correlation with CV, Si6, MR and Med. NPi(3) showed negative correlation of low magnitude with other considered measures.
