RESUMO
The aim of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic stability and specific and broad adaptability of common black bean genotypes for the Central and Center-South regions of Brazil by using the Annicchiarico and AMMI (weighted average of absolute scores: WAAS, and weighted average of absolute scores and productivity: WAASP) methodologies. We carried out 69 trials, with 43 and 26 trials in the Central and Center-South regions, respectively. Thirteen genotypes were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications, during the rainy, dry, and winter seasons in 2 years. To obtain estimates of specific adaptation, we analyzed the parameters for each method obtained in the two geographic regions separately. To estimate broad adaptation, we used the average of the parameters obtained from each region. The lines identified with high specific adaptation in each region were not the same based on the Annicchiarico and AMMI (WAAS) methodologies. It was not possible to identify the same genotypes with specific or broad stability by using these methods. By contrast, the Annicchiarico and AMMI (WAASP) methods presented very similar estimates of broad and specific adaptation. Based on these methods, the lines with more specific adaptation were CNFP 8000 and CNFP 7994, in the Central and Center-South regions, respectively, of which the CNFP 8000 line was more widely adapted.
