Significant genotype and environmental interactions for Panicle Grain Mold Rate (PGMR), Threshed Grain Mold Rate (TGMR) and days to 50\% flowering indicating differential behavior of genotypes under different environments for these characters. The hybrids are classified into 3 groups based on stability performance. Forty-six hybrids exhibited stable performance across environments in which top 5 hybrids (ICSA 384 {$\times$} GD 65028, ICSA 370 {$\times$} GD 65028, ICSA 384 {$\times$} GD 65055, ICSA 369 {$\times$} GD 65028 and ICSA 370 {$\times$} GD 65055) with low PGMR scores. None of the resistant hybrids were adaptable to favorable environments. Two hybrids, ICSA 369 {$\times$} GD 65055 and ICSA 369 {$\times$} ICSR 89058, were suitable for unfavorable environments with low PGMR scores.} }
