Abstract

Bread wheat is one of the most important cereal crops of Ethiopia grown over wider agro- ecologies mainly between 1900 to 3000 above sea level, Study on genotype by environment interaction and stability of 25 bread wheat genotypes was conducted across six locations 2019/2020 main growing season by Alpha lattice design using three replications at six locations in Oromia, Ethiopia. The main objectives of the present study are to interpret genotype main effect and GE interactions obtained by Additive mean-effect and multiplication Interaction analysis and group the genotypes having similar response pattern over all environments. The AMMI analysis also revealed that bread wheat grain yield was significantly affected by the environment at p < 0.01 and explained 82.44% of the total variation. This indicated existence of high variability among the environments. Comparatively, genotype and GEI captured 6.23% and 11.33% of the total variation, respectively. On the other hand, genotypes BW174463, ETBW9193 and ETBW9087 genotypes are located closer to the origin of the biplot, and this implies that these bread wheat genotypes are stable across environments. In the first quadrant genotypes ETBW9066, ETBWBW174459, ETBW9193, ETBW9087, LEMMU and ETBW9185 are positively associated with locations kulumsa, Debre-Zeit, Holeta and Arsi-Robe are considered adaptable. The genotype with low YSI is considered as high yielding and stable genotypes. Accordingly, BW174466, BW174463, ETBW9094, ETBW9315 and, ETBW9089 were the most stable genotypes which were determined by YSI with mean grain yield of 5.33 t/ha, 5.11 t/ha, 5.41 t/ha, 5.14 t/ha and 6.29 t/ha, respectively.
