This study aimed to evaluate 20 lentil genotypes for their perfor- mance 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. Three genotypes FLIP 95-68L, FLIP 86-7L and FLIP 89-71L out yielded the check cultivar Giza 9 by 32.3, 24.6 and 19%, respectively.
