Stability analysis was performed using the GGE biplot method. The best genotype in one year was not same always in the other year due to changes in the weather conditions over the years. Test environment evaluation revealed that the year 2000 (Y00) was the best representative of the overall environments and most powerful to discriminate genotypes with superior mean yield and temporal stability. The relationship of the climatic factors on the basis of their joint contribution to the development of specific trait varied from the pattern observed when their roles on the same traits were individually assessed. Maximum relative humidity, sunshine and rainfall could help explain the yield fluctuation due to their contribution to the overall yield variation. However, genotypes GI0 and G2 which exhibited high mean performance and stability for BN would be beneficial to the oil palm growers in ensuring steady cash flow from regular bunch yield production.展开更多
