Abstract: The experiment was carried out on 123 accessions which were evaluated to estimates of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advances in fenugreek. High coefficients of variation were estimated for days to 50 percent flowering followed by primary branch per plant and length of pod, while, lower coefficients of variation were recorded for number of pod per plant. The highest heritability (broad sense) was observed for day to 50 percent flowering (92.11%) followed by seed per pod (91.65%) and length of pod (91.15%). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for day to 50 percent flowering followed by length of pod. When variability, heritability and genetic advance are considered together day to 50 percent flowering and length of pod may be the best table traits that could be exploited for hybridization and selection for improvement since these characters recorded high variability, high heritability and high to moderate genetic advance.
