Abstract
Background: AMMI analysis showed that genotype, environment and genotype-environment interaction had a highly significant variation for 20 wheat genotypes analyzed over four environments. ASV ranking revealed G15 (RVW-4275) as a stable genotype while G3 (RVW-4263) and G9 (RVW-4269) as unstable genotypes. GGE biplot analysis for environment interrelationship revealed that E1 (Irrigated timely sown), E2 (Restricted irrigation timely sown) were correlated forming one group and E3 (Irrigated late sown), E4 (Restricted irrigation late sown) were correlated forming another group. Polygon view showed that G9 (RVW-4269) was found stable and better performing in E1, G12 (RVW-4272) was stable under the E2 environment and G3 (RVW-4263) was stable in E3. Ideal genotype graph with concentric circles having ideal genotype at the center and genotypes G12(RVW-4272), G18(RVW-4278), G13(RVW-4273), G11(RVW-4271), G10 (RVW4270) present in a concentric circle close to the center can to considered as stable and desirable genotypes.Methods: In the present study the plant material comprised of 20 wheat genotypes. These genotypes were randomly allocated in different replication under different environmental condition. The field trial was evaluated at four different environments viz., E1- Irrigated timely sown, E2- Restricted irrigation is timely sown (RI- 2 irrigation), E3- Irrigated late sown, E4- Restricted irrigation late sown during Rabi season of 2016-2017 at research farms, college of agriculture, Gwalior, MP. The genotype main effects and genotype × environment interaction effects (GGE) model and additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model were two statistical approaches used to determine stable genotype in R software.Result: Highly significant difference was seen for genotype and G×E interaction in our study, revealing that genotype yield output was highly impacted by G×E. In all four environments and G3, G9 as unstable genotypes in all four environments, ASV ranking revealed G15 as a stable genotype. For further breeding, these genotypes G12, G18, G13, G11, G2, G10 and G15 may be used to grow genotypes adapted to conditions of partial irrigation or drought stress.
