Twelve genotypes of urdbean (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) were studied under four environments for seven different characters to assess their stability using Eberhart and Russell model. The GE (linear) and pooled deviation were significant for days to maturity. The magnitude of GE (linear) was greater than the pooled deviation revealing preponderance of linear over non- linear component for all the characters studied. Genotypes LBG 719 and LBG 729 were stable over all environments for seed yield. These genotypes could be used in breeding programmes to obtain high yielding stable segregants. The association of seed yield was found to be positively significant with days to maturity and number of pods per plant at Ragolu.
