Abstract: 

Thirty five black gram genotypes were evaluated over three diverse environments to identify stable genotypes for nine different characters in black gram. The stability analysis of variances of mean data revealed that the significant pooled deviation for all the traits except days to first flowering, number of pods per cluster and hundred seed weight indicated predominance of nonlinear component. Estimates for stability parameters revealed that no genotypes were stable for all traits studied. The genotypes LBG 623, RU 8709, COBG 683 and HG 157 were found to have non-significant deviation from regression and around the unity regression coefficient along with desirable mean value for the trait seed yield per plant. These genotypes said to be suitable for both unfavourable/ high input and favourable/ low input environments for the trait seed yield per plant.
