Greengram is an important short duration pulse crop grown extensively throughout India. The productivity is very less when compared to other pulse crops in India and in Uttar Pradesh. Hence, the experiment was conducted with the aim of identifying different genotypes and characters that will be useful in improving its productivity. The present investigation was intended to study the extent of variation, heritability and genetic advance among different characters of greengram in sandy loam soils of Uttar Pradesh in a set of 20 genotypes including check Samrat in randomized block design with three replications during the Kharif, 2017. Observations were recorded for 13 quantitative characters. The genotypes KM11 584, KM11 583, RMG 1030, MH 934, NAVYA and SHARIF were identified as desirable genotypes. Harvest index, biological yield per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of seeds per pod exhibited high GCV, PCV, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean. Thus priority should be given to these characters during selection in breeding programme for greengram yield improvement.
