Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on fourteen faba bean genotypes at Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center sub-sites during 2015-2017 main cropping season with the objective to evaluate and select high yielding and stable genotype over test environments that are tolerant to major faba bean diseases. Randomized complete block design with three replications with net plot size of 1.6m x3m was used. Pooled ANOVA declared significant difference among evaluated genotypes for plant height, number of pods per plant, hundreds seed weight and grain yield. All observed agronomic traits excluding days to flowering and days to maturity showed significant differences across the testing environments. On the other hand, genotype by environment interaction had significant effect on number of pods per plant and grain yield. Stability parameters were estimated by employing AMMI stability Value, Genotype selection Index and explained by GGE biplot. The total variation of 45.55%, 6% and 22.51% were contributed by environment, genotypes and genotype by environment interaction for grain yield, respectively. G10 (16.74Qt/ha) and G12 (16.32Qt/ha) were identified for their better yield performance with yield advantage of 5.42 and 2.77%, respectively over the best standard check (Shalo=15.88Qt/ha). G10 and G12 had better mean value of thousand seed weight viz. 76.78 gram (G10) and 73.90 gm (G12) over Shalo (62.87 gram). AMMI biplot, ASV, GSI and GGE Biplot further confirmed that G10 and G12 were most stable and widely adapted genotypes. Therefore, the identified genotypes (G10 and G12) were suggested to be released as new varieties for West and Kelem Wollega Zones and areas with similar agro-ecology.
