  Since, the inception of breeding research on sunflower inbred lines, genotype by environment interaction remain the main imbroglio. To overcome this problem, local hybrids have been developed through novel cytoplasm male sterile line (A, B and R lines) system; their selections were based on evaluation of Genotype × Environment interaction (G × E) in multi environmental trials. Thus, in the present study, 10 sunflower hybrids were evaluated for grain yield in three consecutive years 2015, 2016 and 2017 in replicated trials, in order to elucidate diverse genotypes against that particular environment. Among these hybrids NARC-229 had maximum yield (4.78 tons ha-1) followed by this ORI-114 (4.26 tons ha-1) across all environments. ANOVA of mean data expose (20%) of total variability in sunflower grain yield was contributed by that variable agro ecological zone, while year-on-y.. View More»
