Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessing variability and correlations for agro-morphological\ntraits of lentil are the important aspects in the development of lentil\nvarieties. Six lentil genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block\ndesign (RCBD) with four replications at Agronomy Research Farm of Institute of\nAgriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Paklihawa, Rupandehi, Nepal during\nwinter season of 2018\/19 to assess the genetic variability, heritability and\ngenetic advance for agro-morphological traits. Analysis of variance revealed\nsignificant differences for all traits. The values of Phenotypic Coefficient of\nVariance (PCV) were higher than Genotypic Coefficient of Variance (GCV) for all\nthe characters, and the number of pods per plant exhibited high estimates of\nboth PCV and GCV indicating substantial scope of improvement through selection.\nThe number of secondary branches showed the highest PCV (0.89) and GCV (0.50)\nwhereas the lowest PCV (0.02) and GCV (0.00) were recorded for date to 50%\nmaturity. High heritability (0.62) coupled with high genetic advance (192.63)\nas percent mean was observed for the grain yield. Grain yield showed positive\nand significant phenotypic correlation with number of pods per plant (r=0.424)\nand plant height (r=0.420). The highest positive direct effects were observed\nin plant height followed by number of grains per pods, number of secondary\nbranches and number of pods per plant; suggesting the importance of these\ncharacters and the necessity of adopting them as selection criteria for grain\nyield improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key words:<\/strong> Lentil, Grain yield, Heritability, Correlation, Path analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
