The aim of this study was to use fuzzy logic as an auxiliary tool in the assessment of adaptability and stability, using grain‐yield data from flood‐irrigated rice, evaluated in different agricultural years. Eighteen rice genotypes belonging to flood‐irrigated rice breeding programme were evaluated over four agricultural years, 2012/2013 to 2015/2016, totalling 12 environments (3 sites × 4 years). The methodologies of Eberhart and Russell (1966), Lin and Binns (1988) modified by Carneiro (1998) and Centroid's were used. Fuzzy logic was applied to the results of these methodologies as a tool for interpretation and decision‐making regarding the recommendation of genotypes. Performances of the different flood‐irrigated rice genotypes were influenced by environmental conditions, thereby justifying the use of multiple adaptability and stability methodologies. The use of fuzzy logic in the selection of flood‐irrigated rice genotypes is a useful and promising tool in breeding programmes, allowing information from different parameters to be used to understand the influence of environmental variations on the performance of crop genotypes.
