Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify cowpea genotypes that fulfill the criteria of high grain yield, adaptability, and stability in the Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) region. Yield data from Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) trials conducted in the municipalities of Dourados and Aquidauana/MS from March to August 2017 and 2018 were used, totaling four environments. A randomized block design with 14 treatments and four repetitions was adopted. Yield was evaluated by weighing the grains from the usable plot and converting the values to kilogram per hectare. After the analysis of variance, the interaction between genotypes and environments was evaluated by the methodologies of adaptability-stability analysis of Eberhart and Russell, Lin and Binns modified by Carneiro and GGE-Biplot. The genotypes Pingo-de-ouro 1-5-7, Pingo-de-ouro 1-5-5 and Bico-de-ouro 1-5-24 are stable, adaptable and productive for the state according to the complementary use of the methods.
