- Association Marigat gave the highest mean grain yield (3620 kg/ha).
- Association Koibatek gave the lowest yield (870 kg/ha).
- Association Genotype EUP 32 produced high mean yield (3530 kg/ha).
- Association Genotype EUP 35 produced high mean yield (3080 kg/ha).
- Association Genotype EUP 19 produced high mean yield (2690 kg/ha).
- Association Genotype EUP 10 produced high mean yield (2590 kg/ha).
- Association Genotype EUP 4 had the lowest grain yield (1290 kg/ha).
- Observation EUP 34, EUP 18 and EUP 9 were identified as stable and high yielding genotypes.
- Association EUP 34, EUP 18 and EUP 9 out-yielded the standard open pollinated variety (OPV) check Kat PM2.
- Association Genotype EUP 32 was the highest yielding genotype across all sites.
- Association Rainfall at the vegetative and post-anthesis phases and temperature had an effect on grain yield; direction not stated.
- Observation Environments, genotypes and genotype-by-environment interaction were important in trait expression and performance.
- Recommendation The authors recommend environment-specific selection for pearl millet.
- Association Pearl millet hybrids have high potential for commercial production in Kenya, more than the OPVs.
- Recommendation EUP 34, EUP 18 and EUP 9 are recommended for release as commercial hybrid varieties.
- Recommendation EUP 32 is recommended for further multi-location evaluation in a warmer environment and possible release.
- Observation The GGE biplot characterised the environments by stability and productivity.
- Observation Genotypes differed significantly at Marigat and Koibatek for all yield components.
