| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to evaluate 20 lentil genotypes for their performance and yield potential in the new reclaimed lands at Abu-Simbel and to estimate the genetic parameters, which help for further selection in this location. The genotypes were planted in November at three seasons (1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2001/2002). Significant differences occurred among seasons due to the wide variation in maximum and minimum air temperatures and relative humidity, which affected accumulation of plant dry matter and yield performance of genotypes. Thiele genotypes FLIP 95-68L, FLIP 86-7L and FLIP89-71L out yielded the check cultivar Giza 9 by 32.3, 24.6 and 19%, respectively. In addition they had high harvest index values of 38.4, 31.3 and 29.8%, respectively. These genotypes also had higher seed yield/plant, number of pods and seeds/plant, and hence being promising and could be recommended for planting at Abu-Simbel after verification and large-scale on-farm trials. High estimates of phenotypic coefficient of variation, broad sense heritability together with genetic advance for seed yield/plant and harvest index, suggesting that pronounced progress should be expected from selection among genotypes for these characters at Abu-Simbel. | ||
