Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate grain yield performance, stability, and adaptability of nine early-maturing rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad) Kunaram, Peddapalli, Telangana during summer 2018–19, rainy (kharif) 2019, summer 2019–20, and rainy (kharif) 2020. The comprehensive analysis of variance unequivocally revealed statistically significant influences from lines, seasons, and their interaction, indicating a complex interplay that governs grain yield variability. The findings of GGE biplot methodology demonstrated that greatest variation of total variation was concentrated in environmental factors, subsequently in line impacts and their interactions influencing grain yield. More than 85% of the total variation was captured by the first two principal components, with PC1 and PC2 explaining 68.8% and 18.3% of the variation, respectively. In the GGE biplot genotype view, genotypes G1 and G5 were identified as high-yielding and stable, as indicated by their proximity to the biplot origin suggesting broad adaptability and minimal G×E interaction. The GGE biplot facilitated the identification of mega-environments through polygon, wherein the top-performing lines included G3, G5, and G1 in Mega Environment 1, while G7 stood out as the elite line in Mega Environment 2. G3 was closely aligned with the ideal line followed by G5 and G1 in biplot’s average-environment coordination (AEC) view, conclusively expressing remarkable yield and stability due to their extensive adaptability under the seasons tested suggests strong potential for inclusion in early rice varietal development and multi-environment breeding programmes.
