Abstract
A multi-environment sorghum variety trial comprised of nine genotypes along with one standard check, “yeju”, was carried out in the main cropping seasons of the period of 2006–2008. The objective of this research was to identify a stable and better-yielding sorghum variety under the conditions of the sorghum-growing area of North Shewa, Ethiopia. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design replicated three times within an experiment. AMMI analysis based on grain yield data revealed that genotypes ICSV 1112BF, 82 LPYT-2 # 5x81ESIP 46, and PGRC/E #222880 were superior to the standard check both in grain yield and stability, and hence these genotypes have been verified, and the genotype PGRC/E #222880 has been registered by the national variety-releasing technical and standing committee by the given name “Chare” for commercial production for the North Shewa sorghum-growing areas.
