| Abstract: | An experiment was undertaken to determine the stability of seed yield in 21 common bean genotypes representing three growth
habits. Seven genotypes in each growth habit (determinate bush, indeterminate bush and indeterminate prostrate) were evaluated
in replicated trials at three locations for three years under rain fed conditions in Ethiopia. A combined analysis of variance,
stability statistics and rank correlations among stability statistics and yield-stability statistic were determined. The genotypes
differed significantly for seed yield and genotype × environment (year by location) interaction (GE). The different stability
statistics namely Type1, Type 2 and Type 3 measured the different aspects of stability. This was substantiated by rank correlation
coefficient. There were strong rank correlations among Si
2d, Wi
2,σi
2 and Si
2, where as there was weak correlation between biand Ri

2.None of the statistics per se was useful for selecting high yielding and stable genotypes except the YS(yield-stability statistic). Most of the high yielding
genotypes were relatively stable. Of the 21 genotypes, only 11genotypes were selected for their high yielding and stable performance.
Genotypes with growth habit III and I (in determinate prostrate and determinate bush) were generally more stable than in determinate
bush.
