Fourteen lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) genotypes were grown in two different locations in South-Eastern Anatolia of Turkey in 2001/2002. The observations were recorded on days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, biological yield per plant, seed yield per plant, plant height, first-pod bearing height, number of branches, pods per plant, seeds per plant. 1000 seed weight and grain yield. Analyses of variance revealed considerable variations for all the traits. Grain yield ranged from 158.4 to 235.7 kg/ha. Genotype x location interactions for biological yield per plant, seed yield per plant, number of pods plant and number of seeds per plant were significant, and for these characters heritability was found low due to high environmental effects. Days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and seed weight appeared to be useful traits because high heritability.
