Genotype × environment (G × E) interaction plays a key role for better genetic improvement and identifies high yielding and stable cultivars under varying environmental conditions. Genetically stable traits play a key role in sugarcane breeding for improvement in sugarcane and sugar productivity. Present finding elucidates the relative magnitude of G × E interaction effects and evaluating phenotypic stability of 226 segregating genotypes for sugar and yield-related traits and for their regression coefficient (bi) and population mean (X ̅) over the locations. G × E interaction was found significant for cane yield, indicating that the cane yield was highly influenced by the environment. |
