The Analysis of Different Methods for Evaluation of Plasticity and Stability of Agricultural Crop Varieties

Abstract

The adaptive varieties are valued for such positive qualities as increased plant survival and productivity in production under difficult climatic factors in a wide range of growing conditions. Many different methods for evaluation environmental plasticity and stability have been developed, which are reliable and informative. The aim of the research is a comparative characteristic of plasticity and stability indicators using the example of barley varieties that were evaluated using various methods. The object of the research is barley varieties. The use of several methods allows getting more objective results. To bring the obtained data to a common denominator, it is advisable to use the ranking method.
