The interrelationships between yield and yield attributes as well as yield analysis were studied in eight intervarietal crosses and their parents during 1981/1982 and 1982/1983 seasons. The important results can be summarized as follows: Positive and highly significant correlation coefficient was found between seed yield/ plant on the one hand and number of pods as well as number of seeds/plant on the other hand. Also, positive correlation coefficients were noticed between seed yield and each of plant height, number of branches/plant and number of days to first flower appearance but, the coefficients did not reach the significance level. Insignificant negative correlation coefficient was recorded for seed index related to seed yield /plant. Path analysis revealed that the main sources of lentil seed yield variation according to their importance were number of pods/plant and number of seeds/plant and their interaction which contributed about 99% for seed yield variation.
