Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Stability Analysis for Durum Wheat Entries (Triticum durum Desf.)

Eight durum wheat entries obtained from ICARDA were sown in three seed rates (120,150 and 180 kg/ha) using split plot arrangement according to randomized complete block design with three replications in season 2004 , phenotypic and genetic variances were significant for all traits at the seeding rates. Stability parameters for entries indicated that the entry Azul-5 responds to an un appropriate environments for the number of spikes/m2 and the number of grains/spike , the entry 1346/Lahn/Bcr/Lks4 respond to an un appropriate environments for 1000- grains weight.
