ASSESSING YIELD STABILITY AND ASSOCIATED TRAITS IN OKRA (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS L. MOENCH)

Fourteen okra genotypes including one check were evaluated under three different environments by changing the fertility conditions at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University during 2022 to study the genotype-environment interaction.Pooled analysis of variance revealed significant variation among the genotypes and GE interaction studied for all the characters.From the stability analysis, the genotype IC-0620645 was found to have average stability for yield per plant.Hence, the genotype was found most suitable for stable yield performance under a wide range of environments.Environment 2 (N:P:K @ 50:50:50 kg/ha) was found as the favourable environment for the character yield/plant.
