Abstract
22 chickpea genotypes (cultivars and lines) were growing in five different environments under rainfed conditions in north Iraq(Mosul and Alkosh in season 2004-2005 and the same locations beside Al-Rashidia in season 2005-2006) to evaluate stability of seed yield, its components and protein content .Combined analysis showed a significant differences at 1% level for genotype, environments and their interactions for all characters. Local variety exhibited the highest stability order for no. of days to 50% flowering and 90% maturaty with four stability methods. Dijla variety showed the highest rank for plant height and protein content. Rafidain gave the highest order for no. of secondary branches, no. of pods per plant and seed yield (kg/ ha) in most stability methods.
