The efficiency of the breeding methods used in lentil were investigated. An analysis was carried out on the efficiency of selection in landraces, hybrid and mutant populations. Thirteen new and original varieties and numerious lines with various useful properties were developed and released using these methods. Lowest was the efficiency of selection in landraces and foregn varieties and populations. Three varieties were registreted. They possess higher potential and a number of new valuable economic and biologic qualities and thus replace the old varieties used in production. The producers have shown considerable interest also in the tanninless variety andrdquo;Bellaandrdquo; due to its light and large seeds with high protein content.
