Genotype x environment interaction in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.] was studied for grain yield by growing 57 genotypes consisting of 54 hybrids along with three standard checks in RBD with three replications under three different environments created by different irrigation numbers (E1, E2 and E3) with recommended dose of fertilizers during Kharif, 2015 at Agriculture Research Station farm, ARS Beechhwal, Bikaner. The nature and extent of genotype (g) x environment (e) interactions were studied. The joint regression analysis indicated the importance of unpredictable components along with predictable components of G x E interaction. Among the crosses RMS 6A x BIB-27 and ICMA 04999 x BIB-15 had higher grain yield per plant and showed stability for better management conditions and poor management conditions, respectively.

The objective of this experiment was to estimate the magnitude of genotype X environment interaction on grain yield and yield related traits. Twelve varieties of food barley were included in the study planted in randomized complete block design with three replications. The ANOVA of combined and individual location revealed significant differences among the food barley genotypes for grain yield and other traits. The results of ANOVA for grain yield showed highly significant (p≤0.01) differences among genotypes evaluated for grain yield at Maychew and significant (p≤0.05) differences in Korem, Alage and Mugulat. The ANOVA over locations showed a highly significant (p≤0.01) variation for the genotype effect, environment effects, genotype X environment interaction (GEI) effect and significant (p≤0.05) variation for GEI effect of yield and for most of the yield related traits of food barley genotypes. Haftysene, Yidogit, Estayish and Basso were the genotypes with relatively high mean grain yield across all locations and they are highly performing genotypes to the area. Among locations, the highest mean grain yield was recorded at Korem and it was a suited environment to all the genotypes whereas Mugulat is unfavoured one.
