The present study aimed to estimate variability, heritability, and genetic advance from selection for earliness and seed yield characters for 24 lentil genotypes to provide information that could be useful in lentil breeding programs. The experiments were carried out at Sids research station in 1997/98 and 1998/99, and at Giza research station in 1998/99 season UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2003/EJAR/8103/1/125.pdf ER -
