Summary: The relative performance of one genotype is not identical in different environments due to genotype-environment interaction (G9E). Thus, for a breeding program to successfully develop cultivars, it is fundamental that candidate elite-lines are tested in several target environments and that the data are analysed for yield, adaptability and stability. The objective of this work was to study the G9E for upland rice using a mixed model and, using the harmonic mean of relative performance of genotypic values (HMRPGV) method, to analyse cultivars and elite-lines over time to identify those that aggregate high grain yield (GY) with high genotypic adaptability and stability.
