Legume crops play an important role in ensuring food security, improving soil fertility, and promoting sustainable agricultural development. However, yield instability caused by climatic fluctuations, environmental stresses, and management variations remains a major challenge for legume production in Zhejiang Province. This study aims to systematically compare the yield stability of different legume crops in Zhejiang by integrating long-term yield data, ecological information, and statistical evaluation methods. The research will analyze yield variation characteristics, stability differences, and environmental adaptability among major legume crops, including soybean, broad bean, pea, mung bean, and common bean. Multiple stability assessment approaches, such as coefficient of variation, AMMI model, GGE biplot analysis, and multivariate statistical methods, will be applied to identify crops with high yield stability and broad ecological adaptability. Furthermore, the physiological, ecological, and genetic mechanisms underlying yield stability will be explored, with emphasis on climate adaptation, resource utilization efficiency, and genotype-environment interactions. A case study of typical ecological regions in Zhejiang will be conducted to reveal regional differences in legume production stability and provide targeted optimization strategies. The findings will contribute to the selection of stable-yielding legume varieties, improvement of precision cultivation practices, and development of climate-resilient legume production systems in Zhejiang Province.
