In an experiment conducted on 25 diverse genotypes of faba bean at the Livestock Farm of Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural University in Jabalpur, India during the 1984-86 winter seasons to study the genetic behavior of seed yield/plant, physical characters of the seed, and nutritional traits. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used. Mean squares showed significant variation among the genotypes for all the observed characters except for protein/seed. Phenotypic and genotypic variation were highest for hydration coefficients among physical characters of the seed, carbohydrate content, and hemagglutinin activity unit among nutritional attributes. Genotypic coefficients of variation ranged from 6.15 (cotyledons percentage) to 27.49 (protein/seed) for physical characters of the seed; 4.36 (manganese content) to 38.91 (magnesium content) for nutritional attributes; and 30.63 (stachyoze content) to 44.89 (hemagglutinin activity unit) for antinutritional traits. All the observed characters had high heritability ( 85). Seed yield/plant had nonsignificant association with all the observed qualitative traits
