Abstract
A major source of risk facing farmers in the semi-arid tropics is the variation in crop production. Much of this variation is due to fluctuations in environmental conditions affecting yield. One approach to reducing this risk is through the introduction of more stable varieties. The traditional approach to identifying such varieties has important shortcomings. This study’s objectives are to explore ways of generating data on genotype performance, to examine alternative approaches to evaluating genotype performance under variable environmental conditions, and to apply them in selecting risk reducing ground genotypes in India...
