Abstract

The multi-environment evaluation of wheat genotypes for grain yield is an integral part of germplasm enhancement since it plays a pivotal role in sustainable production. A total of 178 winter wheat cultivars were evaluated across 20 environments in Sweden from 2016 to 2020, with 52 to 59 cultivars tested per year as part of the Swedish National Trials (Sverigeförsöken). The genotypes were evaluated for grain yield performance with and without fungicide treatments. Additive main-effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype plus genotype-by-environment interaction (GGE) biplot methods were explored to estimate the genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) for grain yield performance. ANOVA revealed a significant variation between treatments, genotypes in all years, and GEI in all years except 2018. The majority of the explained variance came from the environment, with a range of 61–88% across the five-year trial. The 20 sites were grouped into two to four mega-environments in the yearly studies. From the fungicide-treated trials, G 0512LT3, Informer, SG SU1563-15, LG Imposanto, and Pondus were identified as the most stable and high-yielding cultivars each year. From the fungicide-untreated trials, Informer, Ancher Greece, RGT Saki, and Pondus were the best-performing cultivars and could be good candidates for organic wheat cultivation.
