Fifteen improved, low toxin grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) genotypes received from the International Centre for Agricultural research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria and a local check were tested for winter season (2006-07) in the rainfed conditions of National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), Islamabad. Aim of the study was to select the promising genotypes that would give high seed yield with low neurotoxin oxalyl-diamino-propionic acid (ODAP) content. Data on maturity days, plant height, biological yield, grain yield, 100-kernel weight, and harvest index were collected. The genotype Sel. 190 gave the highest grain yield 1265 kg per ha and significantly outperformed other genotypes. It was followed by the genotypes Sel. 387, Sel. 390 and Sel. 736.
