- Evaluation of lentil and chickpea genotypes for grain yield and agronomic traits was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Bhagetada, Doti, Nepal during winter season of the years 2012 and 2013. The trials were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Total 16 genotypes of lentil were included in trials in both years whereas 20 and 14 genotypes of chickpea were included in the year of 2012 and 2013 respectively. Combined analysis of trials over years (2012 and 2013) showed that lentil genotype namely Black Masuro (790 kg/ha), LG 12 (746 kg/ha) and ILL 3111 (747 kg/ha) were found high yielding. Similarly, chickpea genotypes namely ICCX 840508-31 (953 kg/ha), ICCX 840508-40 (911 kg/ha) and BG 372 (850 kg/ha) were also found high yielding. These genotypes should be evaluated further on farm trials with larger plot size before making recommendation for general cultivation in far western hills of Nepal.
