Abstract

Seventeen faba bean cultivars released over three decades including four promising genotypes in the pipeline were evaluated at five locations in 2007 and two locations in 2009 main cropping seasons in central highlands of Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to determine the magnitude and pattern of G × E interaction and yield stability. The study was conducted using a randomized complete block design with four replications. G × E interaction and yield stability were estimated using AMMI and Tai’s stability methods. Pooled analysis of variance for grain yield showed significant differences at (p ≤ 0.001) among the main effects of genotypes and environments and at (p ≤ 0.01) for G × E interaction effects. This indicated that either the genotypes differentially responded to the changes in the test environments or the test environments differentially discriminated the genotypes or both. Environment main effect accounted for 73.6% of the total yield variation; whereas, genotype and G × E interaction effects accounted for 5.0% and 8.5%, respectively, indicating the necessity for the need of spatial and temporal replication of variety trial. The first two multiplicative component terms sum of squares of the AMMI explained 66.6% of the interaction effect. No single cultivar showed superior performance across all environments but cultivars TUMSA and DOSHA, followed by CS20DK were top ranked at 71.4% and 57.1% of the environments, respectively and found the most stable across environments. Based on Tai’s stability analysis, eight of the tested cultivars exhibited average stability; whereas, none of them was able to demonstrate a static performance stability. Generally, the application of AMMI and Tai’s methods were facilitated the visual comparison and identification of superior cultivars, thereby supporting decisions on faba bean cultivar recommendation for different environments.
