StabilIty analysis of yield in maize (Zea mays)

V. P. Mani, Naveen Singh

Abstract

A study was conducted during rainy season (kharif) 1994 to study the yield stability in 12 maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes comprising hybrids and composites over 3 diverse environments. Composite 'Navin' followed by double top cross hybrid 'EHF 1121 ' were found to be most stable with greater mean yield than overall mean. Two single crosses, viz 'FH 3048' and 'PH 3047' recorded highest mean yield and more specifically adapted to favourable environments.
