Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to study stability performance over two consecutive seasons each with three dates of transplanting seedlings for fruit yield and quality components in 28 hybrids derived by crossing eight genetically superior genotypes of brinjal using half diallel design. The analysis revealed that component of G x E interaction was significant for most of the traits indicating that linear as well as non linear component were important. A persual of the results on environmental index suggested Kharif at 60 DOS and rabi at 30 DOS to be the most congenial for fruit yield, yield related and quality traits. Stable genotypes were identified for wider environments and specific (either favourable or poor) environments with high per se perfromance for fruit yield per plant and quality traits. It is evident from the information that four hybrids viz., C3 (Arbha kranti x HABR-4), C6 (Arbha kranti x Rajendra Brinjal), C10 (Kashi Taru x JB-6) and C17 (Aruna x Rajendra Brinjal) were found stable and widely adapted with high per se perfromance and average responsiveness and could be utilized further in breeding programmes.
