Field experiments were carried out to evaluate seventeen hybrids of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) for their stability at three lo-cations in Kashmir valley during kharif 2011 and 2012. Significant differences were observed among all the hybrids for eight quantitative char-acters. The pooled analysis of variance for stabil-ity of hybrids for the quantitative traits revealed significant differences among the genotypes and environments for all the traits studied. The inter-action component genotype × environment was also significant for all the traits. The hybrids sta-ble for yield and most of the traits were TO-687, Indam-531, Rambo, PS-255, Maharaja and Swaraj-1516. This implied that these hybrids contribut-ed less to the genotype x environment interac-tion. Therefore, the hybrids TO-687, Indam-531, Rambo, PS-255, Maharaja and Swaraj-1516 have been recommended.
