Simultaneous selection for high yield and stability in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes

Abstract: Phenotypic yield stability is a trait of special interest for plant breeders and farmers. This value can be quantified if genotypes are evaluated in different environments. Common bean is the main cash crop and protein source of farmers in many lowland and mid-altitude areas of Ethiopia. An experiment was undertaken to evaluate common bean genotypes for yield performance at Alemaya, Bako and Nazreth in Ethiopia for 3 years. The yield performance of genotypes was subjected to stability analysis and yield-stabil… Show more

“…Even though the correlation coefficient is not significant and strong, grain yield had negative relationship with the coefficient of regression (r = -0.38). This result disagrees with the previous results of Piepho and Lotito (1992), Mekbib (2003) and Akcura et al (2006) who reported a positive and significant rank correlation between grain yield and coefficient of regression. Mean grain yield had also a non-significant negative rank correlation with the Francis and Kannenberg's environmental variance.…”

“…This result supports the findings of Piepho and Lotito (1992) who reported a negative rank correlation of bi with most of the stability measures on sugar beet. However, it disagrees with the results of Mekbib (2003). The significant negative rank correlation between regression coefficient (b i ) and coefficient of determination (r i 2 ) indicated that the genotypes that were highly responsive to high yielding environments were less responsive to low yielding environments and vices versa.…”

“…This evidences the weakness of the results obtained by the Traditional method. Mekbib (2002), studying the common beans yield stability in Africa, recommended the use of methods of Lin & Bins (1988) and Wricke (1962) modified by the ranking and disencouraged the use of the Traditional method (Yates & Cochran, 1938), in agreement with Aremu et al (2007) who worked with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) also in Africa.…”

“…Accordingly, genotypes 11, 12 and 14 had Type-1 stability. Genotypes 2, 3, and 5 had the highest Type-2 stability; while genotypes 6 and 15 had the Weber and Wricke (1990), Helms (1993), Sneller et al (1997), andMekbib (2003). This was probably due to the fact that five of the eight environments were considered unfavourable and thus causing poor response of the genotypes.…”
