Online published on 15 December, 2016. Abstract Seventy five diverse genotypes of black gram were evaluated during Kharif 2010 for genetic parameters viz., variability, heritability and genetic advance. The estimates of PCV and GCV were high for seed yield perplant followed by number of seeds per pod, number of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant and plant height. Seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant and plant height have high values of heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean indicating lesser influence of environment on the expression of these characters and prevalence of more additive gene action in their inheritance, hence, are amenable for simple selection.
