STABILITY ANALYSIS IN CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN SOUTH EASTERN RAJASTHAN

Four advanced breeding lines and two check varieties from different zones of the country were studied for three years to identify high yielding, stable genotypes for south eastern Rajasthan. Variance due to genotypes, environments, genotype x environment was highly significant for days to maturity, 100 grain weight and grain yield per plant across the environments. NBeG 452 and GAG 1107 were found to be the most stable genotypes for yield and component traits
