Summary
Genotype-environment interactions in F1 hybrids between a selection of current commereial varicties as male parents and a balanced tertiary trisomic male-sterile female were investigated. Sixteen environments were employed, comprising eight treatments in each of two seasons. Hybrid stabilities in terms of yield response to changing environments, were found to be very similar to those of the parents, however hybrid yields exceeded parental yields in all but one instance. A heterotic effect for plant height was also observed.
