Abstract :The present research work was carried out for identification of stable genotypes of lemongrass for different characters over different spacing environments (60x60, 60x45 and 45x45) at Research area of MAP Section (GPB), CCS HAU, Hisar in RBD. The ANOVA for the stability revealed presence of both linear and non - linear G X E interactions. The results on oil content % (FWB) revealed that, out of all the thirty three genotypes / varieties, only twelve genotypes exhibited stable performance with high mean. NLG-4, Krishna, NLG-5, NLG-118, OD-58, NLG-84, HL-11, RRL-16 and CKP-25 were found best genotypes for oil content % (FWB) viewing high mean performance with above average (bi>1) responsiveness; and genotype, OD-19, OD-23, and OD-388 were suitable for favourable environments, none were suitable for poor environments.
