Abstract

Induced golyaenic variability have been assessed in several crop plants. The three cultivar or lentil viz. Pant L-406, K-75 & L-4076 are studied in M4 & Ms generations which are irradiated with gamma-rays, EMS & sodium azide to different doses singly & In combinatins. Among which the 30 kR or gamma-rays was round more effective for grain yield In both the generations. The higher estimates or heritability were also associated at 30 kR or gamma-rays & 0.3%.EMS and In combined treatments or 10 kR or pmma-rays + 0.3% EMS and 10 kR or gamma-rays + 0.5% sodium azide.
