Abstract	The field trial was conducted in 2021 rainy season at RIADI (13°25'47'' north latitude and 7°7'33'' east longitude, GARIN MAIGARI (13°36'88'' latitude North and 7°08'86'' East longitude) and the CERRA-Maradi STATION (13°27'72'' North latitude and 7°06'54'' East longitude) in order to evaluate the agronomic performance of new sorghum genotypes and to identify among them the best adapted genotypes in term of grain yields. The experiment contains thirty (30) different varieties including 24 varieties resulting from the cross between MDK and L153-5 genotypes, two parents (MDK and L-153-5), two station checks (L28 and SSD 35) and two local checks in each location. The treatments were laid out in an incomplete randomized block design with three replicates in each location. The results revealed positive and negative correlations between some variables such as RDT G and RDT T, RDT G and PP, RDT G and NPR, RDT G and HTR. The combined ANOVA revealed significant effects of genotype (G), environment (E) and genotype x environment interactions (GxE). In addition, GGE Biplot analysis, highly performed genotypes in grain yield such as V68, V3 and V58 were identified among the genotypes. Some genotypes have a specific adaptation, these are the MDK, TL2G, L28 and V5 genotypes which are the best genotypes in the mega environment formed by GARIN MAIGARI and RIADI and V27 and V73 which are the best genotypes in RIADI. This analysis allowed also to identify genotypes such as SSD 35, V61, L28, V27, MDK which have medium unstable yield means and V13, V 47, V 43, V19, V29, V8 which are stable but produced lower yields (below average). It also showed a correlation between the STATION and GARIN MAIGARI which constitute a mega environment and showed that GARIN MAIGARI is the ideal environment (reference). So, it can be used for genotypes with wide adaptation while non-representative environments such as RIADI and STATION are suitable for selecting specifically adapted genotypes.
