Adaptability and AMMI biplot analysis for yield and agronomical traits in scented rice genotypes under diverse production environments

The crucial aspect of the identification of the genotypes adaptable to different production environments (systems) for the thirty-six popular scented rice varieties was countered via adaptability and AMMI biplot analysis. The varieties were evaluated for several agronomical traits (twelve) under four production environments namely, direct-seeded rice (DSR), the system of rice intensification (SRI), chemical-free cultivation (CFC) and transplanted rice (TPR). Among different production environments, SRI was found on the top followed by TPR, CFC and DSR. Genotype × environment interactions were significant for all of the traits. Based on the AMMI biplot technique, Pusa Sugandh 3, HKR -11-509 and Pusa Sugandh 5 were found suitable for grain yield per plant and general adaptation to all the environments.
