A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2000, with11 rice oryza sativa rich genotypes (7 hybrids and 4 check varieties) for  eleven quantitative traits in six environments to study their stability. Genotype X environment interactions were found to be significant for ten out of eleven characters considered for stability analysis. The variance due to environment Ilinear) was highly significant for all the characters. Further the variance due to GXE (linear) was significant for days to fifty percent flowering plant height number of spikelets per panicle, thousand grain weight and grain yield per plant. Non linear component was found to be significant for all the characters except number of panicles per plant and grain yield per plant. Among seven hybrids studies four hybrids viz., DRRH-1, KRH-2, sahyadri and KMRH- showed stability for yield with high mean. Considering different dates of sowing KRH-4 is most suitable for early kharif. While DRRH-1 and KMRH-4 are suitable for late sowing in kharif (15th August to 10th September). Of the seven hybrid studied, four hybrids viz., DRRH-1, KRH-2, Sahyadri, and KMRH-4 were consistent and high yielding compared to checks Jaya and IR30864.
