Forty-one elite lentil lines were studied for stability of grain Fe and Zn concentration across three locations (New Delhi, Ludhiana and Pantnagar) in India. The stability analysis was carried using Eberhart and Russel's stability model. Pooled analysis of variance over locations revealed highly significant differences between genotypes, locations and genotype x location interaction. The maximum mean for grain Fe concentration over the locations was obtained for L 4704 (136.91 mg/kg grain), while for grain Zn concentration was highest for VL 141 (81.542 mg/kg grain). The highest mean grain Fe and Zn was recorded at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (Fe-87.30 mg/kg and Zn-68.602 mg/kg). Although both micronutrients were influenced by environment, grain Fe showed more G x E interaction in comparison to grain Zn concentration. Six lentil genotypes exhibited stability for grain Fe concentration …
