Abstract
Twelve potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) genotypes were evaluated using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications to evaluate their genotype x environment interaction (GEI) and marketable tuber yield stability across nine environments during 2009-2011 at highlands of Bale, Southeastern Ethiopia. The combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that there was significant (p<0.05) variation in genotype x environment interaction in marketable tuber yield. Genotype, environment and genotype x environment interaction respectively explained 18.86%, 51.88% and 29.26% of the total sum of squares in marketable tuber yield (t/ha). Most of the total sum of squares in marketable tuber yield is contributed by environment. The AMMI analysis for marketable tuber yield (t/ha) indicated that IPCA1, IPCA2 and IPCA3 were highly significant (p<0.01) while IPCA4 showed non-significant interaction. The first and second principal component axis captured 40.37% and 30.8% of the GEI sum of squares in marketable tuber yield. Genotype 394640-539 gave high mean marketable tuber yield that is the most stable across environments. It was, thus, selected and recommended for wide production across locations.
