Performance of Some Lentil Genotypes in the New Reclaimed Lands at Abu-Simbel
Abstract: 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 difference 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 FILP 95-68 L , FILP 89-71L 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 .
