Abstract

Information on stability is derived from data on 6 yield components in 28 F1 hybrids from a diallel cross of 8 maize inbred lines (characterized by their variable reaction to cold) grown under 2 sowing dates at 2 locations in the Indian Punjab during the winter and monsoon seasons. Line J617 was the best performer in hybrid combinations in both seasons. Deviation from regression appeared to be a more important parameter than regression for measuring stability
