    STABILITY AND ADAPTABILITY ANALYSIS OF CARNATION (Dianthus Caryophyllus L.) VARIETIES USING STABILITY MODELS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2017-10) BANSAL, SMRITI; GUPTA, R.K.
    ABSTRACT The present study entitled “Stability and adaptability analysis of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) varieties using stability models” was undertaken in the Department of Basic Sciences, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni- Solan 173230 (H.P.) during year 2016-2017. Secondary data of 50 varieties on eight characters viz plant height(m), stem length(m), number of days to flower bud formation, number of days for first flowering, flower size(cm), number of flower stem per plant, Duration of flowering(days) and vase life(days) for three flushes were collected from the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture. Discriminant analysis were performed to classify the varieties as high and low yielder variety(ies) and high yielder varieties were subjected to the stability analysis. Significant variety × flush interaction suggested different performance of varieties over different flushes. Finlay and Wilkinson’s and Eberhart and Russell’s stability model were used to identify stable variety(ies). Tempo and UHFSCar Col.-11 were stable for plant height, UHFSCar Col.-11 and UHFSCar Col.-15 for stem length, Lady Green and Rendez Vous for days for bud formation, Master and Rendez Vous for days for first fowering, Pink Dover and UHFSCar Col.-13 for number of flower per stem, UHFSCar Col.-5, UHFSCar Col.-10, UHFSCar Col.-18 and UHFSCar Col.-19 for flower size, Rendez Vous , UHFSCar Col.-13 and UHFSCar Col.-19 for duration of flowering and UHFSCar Col.-13 and UHFSCar Col.-18 for vase life. However, UHFSCar Col.-13 was the stable variety for commercially most important characters viz. number of flower per stem, duration of flowering and vase life. Plant height and stem length of carnation crop can be improved by selection.
