Stability analysis in black gram (Vigna mungo L.) genotypes

Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the extent of genetic diversity and identify promising genotypes for future utilization. The experiment comprising of thirty five genotypes of urd bean was laid out with three replications in four environments in a randomized complete block design at Ganjbasoda, district Vidisha (Madhya Pradesh). Stability analysis revealed that JU 8-6 appeared as promising genotype for seed yield per plant. It could be recommended for general cultivation to improve the urd bean production in Madhya Pradesh. BARC Urd -1, a high yielding genotype, can be recommended for stress conditions. Other high yielding genotypes namely T-9, TU 92-3 and IU 83-4 were found suitable for favourable condition of crop growth.
