The genotypic variability, heritability and correlations for different characters were measured in 21 lentil varieties at the livestock farm, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Jabalpur in the 1982/83 season. The yield per plant, number of branches/plant, and harvest index showed high heritability with high genetic gain, making these characters valuable to breeders. Grain yield showed a high positive correlation with plant weight, number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, and harvest index. Similarly, harvest index showed positive correlation with plant weight, number of branches/plant, and number of pods/plant. However, 100 seed-weight showed a negative correlation with number of pods/plant
