Evaluation of Early Stage Traits as an Indicator of Genetic Variation in Winter Lentil

Lentil is one of the oldest cultured crops with cereals which are cultivated in wide geography world due to its high adaptability, quality nutritional value, important usage areas and economic value. Morphological, physiological biochemical parameters during early vegetative stage an indicator adaptation environmental conditions. This study was carried out investigate variation on some agronomic traits 49 lentil genotypes growth stage. Although there were significant differences terms plant height total chlorophyll content, between for dry fresh weight, stem diameter length epicotyl statistically found insignificant. Plant height, epicotyl, content varied 2.53-4.78 cm, 0.17-0.39 g, 0.04-0.13 1.53-3.00 0.72-1.05 cm 28.4-38.2%, respectively. As a result, it determined that observations taken 30 days after emergence not sufficient constitute genetic use as prediction criteria field The longer-term comprehensive studies should be form interpret results
