STABILITY ANALYSIS FOR COMPARING COTTON VARIETIES (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.)
Keywords:
Stability parameters, Genotypes by environment interaction, Colton.Abstract
Pour colton (Gossypium hirsutumy varieties were compared for their stability of performance in 18 environments
[or secdcouon yield, percentage of ginning ouuurn and staple length. Regression coefficients (b), deviations from regression
(S2-d) and coefficients of variation (CY) were stability parameters considered in this investigation. Variety x
environment interaction was significant which allowed further partitioning into environment linear and variety x environment
linear. Environment linear and variety x environment linear were also significant, suggesting genetic
differences among cultivars for their respon e to different environments. For yield and percentage of ginning outturn,
variety CRTS-9 was stable indicating greater potential to perform better in a range of environments.
