Abstract

The evaluation of genotype × environment interaction (GEI) is a fundamental requirement in crop improvement programs, particularly for dual-purpose barley where both forage and grain productivity must be optimized under variable agro-ecological conditions. This study presents an integrated analytical framework combining Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI), Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP), and non-parametric stability measures to assess yield performance and stability of barley genotypes across multi-environment trials. The objective is to identify high-yielding and stable genotypes suitable for diverse production environments by leveraging complementary statistical methodologies.

Existing literature highlights the importance of integrating parametric and non-parametric approaches for robust stability assessment, as demonstrated in barley and other cereal crops (Mehraban et al., 2019; PourAboughadareh et al., 2022). Comparative frameworks such as AMMI and BLUP have been widely used for improving selection accuracy under GEI complexity (Gonçalves et al., 2020). Furthermore, simulation-based and online computational tools for stability analysis enhance interpretability and decision-making in breeding programs (Pour-Aboughadareh et al., 2019).

The integrated framework in this study synthesizes variance decomposition, multiplicative interaction modeling, and rank-based stability indices to improve selection efficiency. Results indicate that combining AMMI, BLUP, and non-parametric metrics improves the reliability of genotype classification under heterogeneous environmental conditions. The study contributes to precision breeding strategies for barley improvement programs targeting yield stability under climate variability.
