Analysis of adaptability and yield stability in regional trials of common bean for the state of São Paulo, BrazilThe objective of the present study was to identify superior genotypes for yield, adaptability and stability in common bean yield using the Lin & Binns (1988) analysis modified by Carneiro (1998). Twenty-two genotypes were analyzed from the main Brazilian plant breeding programs.

As correlações genéticas e fenotípicas foram significativas e positivas entre todos os anos de produção. Para o vigor, a significância dos coeficientes de correlação genotípica e fenotípica diferiram na pré-sangria e na pós-sangria. Pelos valores de produção de borracha observados, os clones IRCA 111 e PB 235 são considerados favorá-veis à recomendação em pequena escala para a região de Votuporanga. Com base nos resultados obtidos, é possível realizar uma seleção precoce para o caráter de produtividade, usando-se os dados obtidos no primeiro ano de avaliação. Por causa das diferenças observadas entre os períodos de pré-sangria e pós-sangria, não é aconselhável realizar uma seleção precoce no período de pré-sangria, visando ao caráter de vigor. Palavras-chave: Evaluation of rubber-tree clones for the northwest region of São Paulo StateClones of rubber-tree [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Muell. Arg.] have achieved the highest yields of rubber in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the yield and vigor of 14 rubber-tree clones cultivated in the region of Votuporanga and determine changes in the trend of annual correlation to examine the possibility of an early selection based on the studied characters. The yield of rubber was evaluated in the ½S d/4 5d/7 11m/y ET 2,5% tapping system, for a period of eight years. Vigor was also examined by measuring the girth for 16 years. The clones IRCA 111 and PB 235 showed the best yield performance. The best results of vigor, was achieves by clones IAC 15 and IAC 44. Genetic and phenotypic correlations were significant and positive for all production years. The significance of the genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficients of vigor differed in the pre and post-tapping periods. Considering the rubber production found, the clones IRCA 111 and PB 235 can
