The response of barley grain yield to Canadian prairie environments was studied to evaluate genotype × environment interactions, and to group locations according to genotype response, which identifies locations whose removal would not significantly affect the validity of conclusions. The data were also used to illustrate a method for handling a large genotype × location × year data base with few common entries. Information from 20 test locations with 11–19 annual entries over 7 yr was used. Analyses of variance of data sets with three to seven common entries in adjacent years indicated significant genotype × location × year interactions for grain yield. The structure of the genotype × location interaction was studied using cluster analysis within each year and summarized over years. Cluster analysis using individual years allowed more test entries and should increase the reliability of the conclusions compared to that using average over years with few entries. Clustering identified six locations with dissimilar genotype yield responses. In the 7 yr, 19 pairs of locations usually clustered together. The 19 pairs involved eight of the 20 locations and most were in the same geographical region. Some of the eight locations could be eliminated without significant loss of reliability. Rankings of test entries for grain yield at locations within a cluster were generally similar when genotype effects were larger.

The response of barley grain yield to Canadian prairie environments was studied to evaluate genotype × environment interactions with respect to barley genotype selection. Information from nine test sites and 11 entries over two 3-yr spans was used. Genotype × location × year interactions from analysis of variance were significant for grain yield in both data sets. The nature of these interactions was studied by considering the genotype mean performance, superiority and stability measures for each location, and joint regression and cluster analyses within each year. No single genotype was superior over all locations, and the groupings of genotypes for similarity of response at locations were not consistent for year. This indicated that genotypes selected on the basis of main effect means may not be those selected from a detailed consideration of the GE interaction structure. In the presence of sufficient genetic variability, examination of mean yield in conjunction with between-year variance at each location provides vital information on adaptation at specific locations, and is an appropriate selection tool for genotype registration and recommendation. Consideration of GE interaction, using joint regression and clustering, may indicate genotypes equivalent or marginally superior to the check. Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare L., genotype-environment interaction, grain yield

The modified augmented design (MAD) (type 2), which adjusts for environmental heterogeneity when large numbers of test lines are being evaluated in non-replicated plots, has been used in the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding program at the Lethbridge Research Centre. The superiority of test lines selected from two series of F7 test lines selected using the MAD were evaluated in replicated MAD tests (F8) and superior selections were further evaluated in standard replicated designs (F9). When adjustment was indicated for individual MAD tests, the generally high relative efficiencies (RE) confirmed the effectiveness of adjustment in reducing the error variation for yield. The need for adjustment and the adjustment method differed among replicates of the MAD conducted on adjacent blocks of land. The RE from replicated MAD tests indicated the effectiveness of the MAD for reducing the variability in the tests of F8 material. Correlations of the ranks of test lines in different replicates of MAD indicated that more of the same lines in each replicate would be designated as superior with adjustment for heterogenity. The lack of significant positive rank correlations among environments and clearly identifiable improvement in the mean yield was probably the result of the narrowing range in grain yield of the test lines as well as a genotype × environment interaction. Key words: Modified augmented design, Hordeum vulgare, barley, screening

Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) of 18 barley varieties was assessed during two successive rabi crop seasons so as to identify high yielding and stable barley varieties. AMMI analysis showed that genotypes (G), environment (E) and GEI accounted for 1672.35, 78.25 and 20.51 of total variance, respectively. Partitioning of sum of squares due to GEI revealed significance of interaction principal component axis IPCA1 only On the basis of AMMI biplot analysis DWRB 137 (41.03qha–1), RD 2715 (32.54qha–1), BH 902 (37.53qha–1) and RD 2907 (33.29qha–1) exhibited grain yield superiority of 64.45, 30.42, 50.42 and 33.42 per cent, respectively over farmers’ recycled variety (24.43qha–1).

In the present study, fifty-two mungbean (Vigna radiata) genotypes were evaluated for seven morphological traits at three different environments in South Indian state Tamil Nadu, namely Virinjipuram (E1), Eachangkottai (E2), and Bhavanisagar (E3) during Kharif 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. The data collected were subjected to variability and correlation analyses, followed by stability analysis using additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model, genotype and genotype × environment interaction effects (GGE) biplot. Variablility was observed among the genotypes for the following traits viz., plant height, days to fifty per cent flowering, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, hundred seed weight and grain yield. Correlation analysis showed that the trait number of pods per plant was significantly associated with grain yield. The G × E was smaller than the genetic variation of grain yield as it portrayed the maximum contribution of genotypic effects (61.07%). GGE biplot showed E3 as a highly discriminating and representative environment. It also identified environment-specific genotypes viz., EC 396111 for E1, EC 396125 for E2 and EC 396101 for E3 environments. The genotypes with minimum genotype stability index (GSI) viz., V2802BG (7), HG 22 (13), and EC 396098 (13) were observed with wide adaptation and high yields across all the three environments. In summary, we identified stable genotypes adapted across environments for grain yield. These genotypes can be used as parent/pre-breeding materials in future mungbean breeding programs.

Three cultivars of each crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), oats (Avena sativa L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), were grown for 4 yr at five locations north of the 55th parallel in northwestern Canada. There were highly significant differences among all main effects and interactions. Galt barley produced the highest seed yield followed by Centennial barley, Random oats and Harmon oats. Victory oats, Olli barley, Neepawa wheat and Pitic 62 wheat yielded similarly to each other while Thatcher wheat was significantly lower yielding. Mean environment yields ranged from 2080 to 5610 kg/ha. The genotype-environment (GE) interaction of species and cultivars was sufficiently complicated that it could not be characterized by one or two statistics (e.g., stability variances or regression coefficients). However, variability in frost-free period among years and locations contributed to the GE interaction because, for example, some cultivars yielded well (e.g., Pitic 62) only in those year-location environments with a relatively long frost-free period while other early maturing cultivars (e.g., Olli) performed well even in a short frost-free period environment.

The hybrid maize cultivars of multinational seed companies are gradually being popular among the farmers in Nepal. This paper reports on research finding of 117 maize hybrids of 20 seed companies assessed for grain yield and other traits at three sites in winter season of 2011 and 2012. The objective of the study was to identify superior maize hybrids suitable for winter time planting in eastern, central and inner Terai of Nepal. Across site analysis of variance revealed that highly significant effect of genotype and genotype × environment interaction (GEI) on grain yield of commercial hybrids. Overall, 47 genotypes of 16 seed companies identified as high yielding and stable based on superiority measures. The statistical analysis ranked topmost three genotypes among tested hybrids as P3856 (10515 kg ha-1), Bisco prince (8763 kg ha-1) as well as Shaktiman (8654 kg ha-1) in the first year; and 3022 (8378 kg ha-1), Kirtiman manik (8323 kg ha-1) as well as Top class (7996 kg ha-1) in the second year. It can be concluded that stable and good performing hybrids identified as potential commercial hybrids for general cultivation on similar environments in Nepal.

This study aimed to support field pea (Pisum sativum L.) breeding strategies for organic systems of southern European environments, by assessing the size of genotype × environment interaction (GEI) due to spatial and temporal factors across climatically contrasting regions and identifying plant characters associated with genotype adaptive responses. Twelve recent varieties were evaluated for grain yield and other traits in six organically managed environments (three sites × two cropping years) of northern, central and southern Italy. GEI for grain yield was large, with the variety × site × year interaction greatly exceeding the variety × site interaction. This finding, and the similar magnitude of the mean genetic correlations for variety yields across pairs of sites (rg = 0.56) and pairs of years (rg = 0.51), indicated the difficulty of exploiting variety × site interaction effects by breeding for specific climatic regions. Pattern analysis highlighted the large inconsistency across years for GEI pattern of the sites from central and southern Italy. GEI also complicated the targeting of varieties, owing to inconsistent top-performing material across years according to additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI)-modelled yields. Higher genotype mean yield was strictly associated (P < 0.01) with lower weed proportion (hence, greater competitiveness against weeds: r = –0.96), taller plants (r = 0.89) and larger seeds (r = 0.78), with looser associations with lower susceptibility to lodging and ascochyta blight. These traits, which also contributed to preferential adaptation to the moisture-favourable environments of northern Italy, could be selected in breeding widely adapted varieties.
