Stability analysis for seed yield and its component characters in taramira (Eruca sativa Mill.)

Abstract

Thirty genotypes of taramira were evaluated over three environments for analysis of stability parameters
with respect to yield and associated characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height,
primary branches per plant, siliquae per plant, number of seed per siliqua, biological yield per plant, 1000-
seed weight and oil content. Genotypes RTM-46, RTM-48, RTM-66 and RTM-69 showed stability. Further
these genotypes may be used in breeding programme for improvement in taramira. Genotypes RTM-62 and
RTM-69 should be used as parent to develop high oil content and high yielding genotypes responsive to the
favourable environment conditions, respectively.
