Harnessing genotype-by-environment interaction to determine adaptability of advanced cowpea lines to multiple environments in Uganda por Abiriga, F., Ongom, P.O., Rubaihayo, P.R., Edema, Richard, Gibson, P.T., Dramadri, I., Orawu, M.

“…Based on AMMI analysis, environmental effect accounted for the most variation (84.7%) in the phenotype followed by GE (9.45%) and genotypes (4.45%), alluding to the complex inheritance of grain yield in cowpea. The polygon view and the average environment coordination view of the GGE biplot revealed Ayiyi as the wining genotype in the major mega environment and the most stable and high yielding across environments respectively. …”
