Abstract: Present research conducted with 29 lentil diverse genotypes in randomized Block Design with three replications during Rabi-2022 at the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, J. V. College, Baraut, Baghpat, to evaluate the characters displayed minimal variation between GCV and PCV value. The traits such as the number of secondary branches per plant, days to 50 percent flowering, harvest index, number of pods plant-1, and biological yield plant -1 demonstrated closed value of GCV and PCV. This implies that external factors have a comparatively smaller influence on the manifestation of these traits. The traits like harvest index, number of pods plant-1, biological yield plant-1, and number of primary branches plant-1 displayed a noteworthy combination of significant heritability and substantial genetic advance as a percentage of the mean. This implies that these attributes are affected by additive genetic elements and hold the promise of substantial enhancement through selective breeding. Genotypes BIM-5, IPL-316, IPL-321,IPL-406, T-36, IPL-526, L-4076, IPL-525 and L-4147 were superior for seed yield plant-1 and other yield contributing traits based on mean performance.
