A series of experiments were carried out at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Brazil) to determine the relationship between lentil seed yield and several morphological traits and development data. Seed yield was positively and significantly correlated with the number of pods/plant, number of one-seeded pods/plant, number of two-seeded pods/plant, and number of empty pods/plant. Seed yield was also significantly and positively correlated with the number of days from seeding to maturity, number of days from seeding to beginning of flowering, and number of days from flowering to maturity. These correlations suggested that seed yield could be increased by selecting later maturing plants with a greater number of pods
