Stability of forage production in clones of elephantgrass (Pennisetun purpureum Schum.)

Fourteen clones and three cultivars of elephant grass were evaluated in a randomized block experimental design with four repetitions. The objective of this study was to estimate stability parameters related to dry matter (DM) production in kg/ha.cut, based in methodologies of Plaisted & Peterson (1959), Lin & Binns (1988) and Kang (1988), resulted of twelve cuts (as environments). The clone CNPGL 91 F11-2 and Pioneiro cultivar presented high stability and production based in these methodologies, consisting in satisfactory genetic materials adapted to Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ conditions.
