Adaptability and Stability for Seed Yield and Maturity of Selected Genotypes of Lentil under Irrigated Conditions in the Nile Valley in Egypt
Abstract: ABSTRACT


Lentil ( lens culinaris Medikus ) grows in wide range of environments in old lands of Nile valley in Egypt. It grows under dry and hot conditions in south Egypt and in moist and cool conditions in North Egypt. Therefore producing adapted and stable lentil genotypes is an important objective in breeding program. Seven selected and promising lentil genotypes of Regional Yield Trial were evaluated in three seasons (1999-2001) at seven locations (Italy El-Barood, Sakha, Gemmiza Sids, Mallawy, Shandaweel, and Mataana) to study their adaptation to such wide range of environment. Genotypic performance was adequately summarized by genotype means of seed yield and days to maturity and their linear response to different environments. The genotypes Giza 9, family 29, L 138, and Flip 86-7L were stable and showed wide adaptability to all environments. While the genotype Sinai 1 showed adaptability to low yield environments but it was the earliest in maturity all over the country.
