GGE Biplot analysis for appraisal of basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes under transplanted and direct seeded condition
Author(s): H. KESH
Abstract: The present investigation was planned to identify the stable and adaptable Basmati rice genotypes by using GGE biplot method. Thirty-six genotypes were tested in Randomized Block Design at two locations (Kaul and Uchani) for two growing seasons’ viz., kharif 2016 and 2017.The pooled analysis of variance indicated that genotypes, environments and genotype x environment interaction differed significantly for the studied parameters. Based on the GGE biplot analysis, Pusa Sugandh 5 (G31), HKR - 11-509 (G6), PAU 6295-2 (G25),SJR-70-3-2(G33) and Pusa Sugandh 3 (G30) were identified as stable genotypes for number of tillers per plant, biological yield per plant and grain yield per plant across the environments. Pusa 1734-8-3-85 (G21) and CSR- 30 (G2), SJR-70-3-2 (G33) and HKR 98-476 (G14), Pusa 1734-8-3-85 (G21) and UPR-386-9-1-1 (G36) under direct seeded condition and Pusa Basmati 1121 (G27) and HKR 11-447 (G13), HKR 06-434 (G9) and HKR -11-509 (G6), Pusa Sugandh 5 (G31) and Pusa Basmati 1 (G26) for transplanted condition showed specific adaptation for number of tillers per plant, biological yield plant and grain yield per plant, respectively.
