Summary (En) N2 - Selection in a favourable environment did not result in superior lines for stress environments. However, selection in a stress environment resulted in some superior lines that were promising also for a favourable environment. Furthermore, selection of the seed weight ratio in the two contrasting environments appeared to be more promising than selection on the basis of the dry-matter or grain yield ratio T2 - Srivastava, J.P.; Acevedo,-E.; Varma,-S.
