ABSTRACT
Eleven elite genotypes of niger, Guizotia abyssinica Cass were evaluated over six seasons at Akola location of Vidrabha region at Maharashtra for seed yield, days to maturity, number of capsules per plant and number of branches per plant through six stability parameters. Genotype x environment interaction was found significant. On partitioning of it in to linear and nonlinear components, both were significant. However, linear component has its major share in inheritance of these characters; indicating that the prediction can be possible across the environment. With considering the individual adaptability parameter studied, the genotypes viz., JNS -10, IGPN 2005-10 and IGPN 2006-15 were found responsive and adaptable for seed yield and the genotype JN-08-04 was found responsive and adaptable to specific favourable environment (below average stability). Whereas for remaining traits the genotype IGPN 2005-10 and PNS-6 were responsive and adaptable (average stability) to all traits. In the study of correlation among the stability parameters, it is revealed that the stability parameter appears to be under control of different gene or genes in combination in niger.
