The present study was conducted on stability analysis for seed cotton yield and its component traits in four desi cotton varieties and its F1 fybrids crossed by diallel fashion under three different locations within Taminadu. Observations were recorded for days to 50% flower, plant height (cm), number of sympodial branches /plant, number of bolls/ plants, boll weight (g), number of seeds/boll, seed index (g), seed cotton yield/ plant (g) and harvest index (g). This experiment has resulted in identification of two parents i.e. PA 785, HD 432 which were found to be stable and responsive to the low yielding environment which can be used as parents for improving yield stability of the cotton genotypes. The results showed that the stable crosses for the seed cotton yield per plant were PAIG 346 x PA 785,PAIG 346 x HD 432, PA 785 x PAIG 346 which have also responded well to favourable environments.
