INTRODUCTION
Genotype x environment interaction (GEI) is the variation caused by the joint effects of genotypes and environments (Dickerson, 1962). Distinction between cross over interactions (COI) and Non cross over interactions (NCOI) is failed due to GEI Cross over interaction results in the rank change of genotypes over different environments. GEI complicate identification of superior genotype for range of environment If GEI is high, Breeding gain is smaller.
IMPORTANCE OF GEI
Range Broad genetic background Narrow genetic background Maximizing genetic variation among environment s and significant means between testing environments
Low heritability due to GEI and unreliable ranking of genotypes across environments
Uniform environments
Useless
It is a tool to analyze the separability of Genotypic effects from environment effects Environment effects from genotypic effects Complete separabilty
Gregarious and Namkoong (1986) Separability defined one property which is that if cultivar effect is
REQUIREMENTS OF SHMM
Condition for absence of significant genotypic and environment rank change interaction
SHMM adequate for fitting data Primary effects of genotype and environment should
SHMM STUDIES
Cornelius et al. (1993) used SHMM clustering to group 41 winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes into non-COI clusters from a multisite trial data that included seven environments. Crossa et al. (1993), using the SHMM model, clustered 59 international sites into five non-COI groups and concluded that the procedure appears useful in identifying subsets of sites with negligible genotypic COI. Crossa et al. (1995) used the SHMM model for clustering five irrigation levels in two years (10 environments) and results were compared with the conventional cluster analysis using the Euclidean distance as the criterion. The SHMM clustering strategy formed more homogeneous non-COI subsets of sites than the conventional clustering
CASE STUDY
Data of 41 wheat genotypes evaluated in randomized complete block design in four replications in the year 1985 at each of the seven Locations at Kentucky
Clustering First step of is to make the dendrogram by complete linkage with distance defined as Residual Sum of Square Total 40 clusters

DIFFERENCES IN CLUSTERS
IMPORTANCE OF SHMM
Categorization of locations with similar environments helps breeders to efficiently utilize resources and effectively target germplasm. Useful tool to breeder in making decision on release of cultivar It helps in selection, testing and identifying superior genotypes Subsets of environments represent similar selection environments facilitate the exchange of germplasm
