title: Snap bean recommendation based on different methods of  phenotypic stability.
abstract: In order to recommend the best strains of snap beans  from the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) breeding program,  different methods of analysis of phenotypic stability were adopted to evaluate  the performance of 14 lines (F(9) and  F(10)) of indeterminate growth habit, which  were compared with 3 controls, namely, 2 commercial varieties (Feltrin and Top  Seed Blue Line) and 1 parent (UENF-1445). The experiments were conducted in Bom  Jesus do Itabapoana in 2010 and 2011, and in Cambuci in 2011. The experiment  was arranged in a randomized block design with 4 replications. To complement  the information obtained by different methods, the UENF 7-5-1 strain was  indicated for favorable environments (Bom Jesus do Itabapoana; 2010 and 2011),  UENF 7-10-1, UENF 7-14-1, and UENF 7-20-1 strains were indicated for an  unfavorable environment (Cambuci), and UENF 7-12-1 was indicated for both.
