Genotype x Environment interaction analysis of desi chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars using GGE biplot model for Bundelkhand region
Main Article Content
Abstract
Twelve chickpea cultivars were evaluated to identify high-yielding and stable cultivars for the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh
for three consecutive years 2018-2021, at BUAT, Banda. The pooled analysis of variance indicated significant genotype, environment,
and genotype × environment interaction effect on all studied traits. Among cultivarsJG 12 was the highest yielding (3566 kg ha-1)
cultivar followed by JG 315 (3152 kg ha-1). GGE biplot analysis revealed cultivars G2 (JG 12), G4 (JG 14), G7 (JG 24), G9 (JG 322), G3 (JG
130) and G8 (JG 218) very close to the ideal genotype and have high yield along with stable performance. The identified genotype G12
was identified to be the high-yielding and well-adapted cultivar under climatic conditions of Bundelkhand and may be promoted for
commercial cultivation.
