        abstract = {The present research aims to determine variability, heritability, genetic advance in eight genotypes of blackgram. At the School of Agricultural Sciences G H Raisoni University, Saikheda, the experiment was implemented using a randomized block design with three replications during kharif season (2024). Observation was recorded for nine different traits, which included days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod length (cm), 100 seed weight (g), seed yield per plant (g). The analysis of variance revealed that mean squares due to genotypes were highly significant for days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, indicating the presence of sufficient amount of variability in the experimental material used. The magnitude of PCV was slightly greater than GCV which revealed that very little influence of environmental variation was observed on all the characters and stated that a sufficient amount of variability was noticed. Seed yield per plant both shows high phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation. The estimates of high heritability coupled with high genetic advance expressed as per cent of mean was observed for number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100-seeds weight and seed yield per plant. It indicates that most likely the heritability is due to additive gene action and selection may be effective for seed yield improvement.},
