Abstract :One hundred and forty-five faba bean genotypes were assessed for two years for 13 agronomic traits against three elite varieties PRT-7, PRT-12 and Vikrant in Augmented Design. There was significant difference among the blocks for leaf length, leaf width and 100 seed weight but no difference was observed for days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, number of pods per cluster, pod length, yield per plant and seed yield. Among the checks, PRT-12 registered highest seed yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg/ha);. Three germplasm lines viz. EC243770, EC117792, EC329725 showed higher seed yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg/ha); than the best check variety PRT-12 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1565 kg/ha);.
