Abstract

Genotype-by-environment interaction analysis is vital for cultivar release, and to identify suitable crop production sites. The current study aimed to determine sorghum grain yield stability and adaptability and to identify the most informative and representative environments for sorghum grain yield performance in Uganda. Sorghum grain yield data of eight (08) genotypes; ICSR 160, IS8193, IESV92043DL, IESV92172DL, GE17/1/2013A, GE35/1/2013A, SESO1, and SESO3 tested across eight (08) major sorghum production area in Uganda for two consecutive seasons of 2017 using randomised complete block design with 2 replications were analysed via Additive Main effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) and Genotype Main Effect and Genotype by Environment interaction effects (GGE) using PB tools. Genotype IESV92043DL was the ideal genotype in the entire test environments with mean grain yield of 2783 kg ha-1 however genotype ICSR 160 had the highest grain yield of 2823 kg ha-1 across all the test environment. On the other hand, GE17/1/2013A was the most stable and adapted genotype across all the test environment. Of the eight (08) environments tested, biplot analysis precisely grouped the test environments into two presumed mega-environments with the best genotype being IS8193 and ICSR 160. Out of eight (08) trial sites, two (02) environments; Abi and Mayuge were the most representative and informative environment for sorghum grain yield performance in Uganda.
