Seed yield stability of advanced Kabuli type chickpea lines at dry fall sowing in cold region of Maragheh

Introduction of suitable vetch as a winter crop in cold drylands is highly important in the country. Hence، 14 Hungarian vetch selected from exotic germplasm were studied as randomized complete blocks design with three replications in four research stations of Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI) during 2007-2010. Combined analysis of forage yields revealed significant differences between years، locations، genotypes and genotypes by environment interaction effects. Non parametric stability values were in three categories. The first group of stability values selected Golsefid and Sel-515 and the other group recognized Sel-459 as the most stable genotype. However، it was concluded that line Sel-515 with the lowest rank and the least variation according to all stability values have the highest homeostasis under cold rainfed conditions.
