Genotype x environment interaction was evaluated under
eight environments during lentil growing season of 2013/14 and 2014/15
for grain yield and their component characters of twenty one promising
genotypes selected from previous trial of lentil. The variances
estimated due genotype, environment and genotype x environment
interaction were found to be different significantly for all the
characters studies indicating distinct nature of genotypes, environments
and genotype x environment interactions in phenotypic expression. High
estimates of sum of square (SS) for all the traits are expressed by
environment. The explained percentage of grain yield by environment,
genotype and genotype environment interaction were 54.86, 19.86 and
25.28 respectively. To find out the effects of GEI on grain yield and
its attributing characters, the data were subjected to Additive Main
effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) .The results finally
indicated that AMMI stability value and AMMI biplot are informative
methods to explore stability and adaptation pattern of genotypes in
practical plant breeding and in subsequent variety recommendations. In
addition, finding mega environments help to identify the most suitable
lentil cultivars that can be recommended for areas within the
mega-environment in either one or more test locations. The genotype RL39
(1.254 mt ha-1 ) and LL10071 (1.196 mt ha-1 ) produced higher grain
yield) than all other genotypes over the environments and performed
better at most of the places. The genotypes ,F2003-49L, Arun, 39-S-66L,
RL-44, and ILL10071 were found to be comparatively stable as their
performance were hardly affected by the G x E interaction and thus would
perform well across a wide range of environments. These genotypes
produced higher grain yield than all checks.
