Studies on determining genotype environment interactions and stabilities on some red lentil cultivars and lines (Lens culinaris Medik.) for important agronomic traits in southeastern Anatolia region ecological conditions

Fifteen lentil genotypes were evaluated in three different locations (Diyarbakir, Sanliurfa and Adiyaman) of Southeastern Anatolia over two years (2011-12, 2012-13 growing in season) in complete blocks design with four replications on some important agronomic traits and their genotype x environment interactions and stability parameters. Genotype x environment interactions were significant for number of days to flowering, number of physiological maturation days, plant height, stem length, number of pods per plant, number seed per plant, 1000-grain weight, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index. However, genotype x environment interactions were no significant for days to emergence, number of plants per square meter, first pod height and number of branches per plant. Stability parameters were indicated that genotypes FLIP2005-10L and FLIP2005-25L were found stable for days to maturity, thousand grain weight and biological yield. genotype FLIP2006-29L was found more stable for number of pods per plant and seed per plant and harvest index. Genotype FLIP2006-97L was found more stable for days to flowering and maturity, biological yield and grain yield.
