AMMI Appended with BLUP to Assess the Superiority of Hullness Barley Genotypes Evaluated under Coordinated System of the Country

Abstract

Highly significant effects of environments (E), G×E interaction and genotypes (G) had expressed by AMMI analysis for hulless barley genotypes under coordinated barley improvement program. Environment effects explained 69.9% and 59.7% whereas Interaction effects accounted for 17% and 20.9% during cropping seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20, respectively. Stability measure WAASB based on all significant interaction principal components ranked suitability of DWRB204, K1149 genotypes. Superiority index while weighting 0.65 and 0.35 for mean yield & stability ranked DWRB204, Karan 16 as of stable performance with high yield barley genotypes. Ranks as per composite measures MASV1 and MASV found NDB943, KB1750 as desirable genotypes. Lower values ASTAB measure achieved by Karan 16, NDB943. Biplot graphical analysis as per 40.4% of variation of the measures exhibited MASV1 clubbed with ASTAB, EV, SIPC, Za, W6, WAASB and MASV measures. Measure IPCA1 clubbed with SI corresponding yield based.  W2, W3, W4 measures observed in different group.  For the second-year lower value of WAASB measure had observed for PL891, KB1843, NDB943. Ranking of genotypes as per Superiority index found Karan16, UPB1086 as of stable performance with high yield. MASV1 and MASV identified Karan16, DWRB216 genotypes of choice for these locations. Barley genotypes Karan16, DWRB216 were selected as per values of ASTAB measure accounted AMMI analysis with BLUP of genotypes yield values. About 78.1% of variation of the measures under biplot analysis observed MASV1 grouped with ASTAB, EV, SIPC, and MASV. While Za joined together with W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, WAASB to form separate group.
