The present investigation was carried out on 40 Blackgram genotypes to study about genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for 9 characters. High GCV and PCV was observed in SLA followed by Pods per plant. High heritability coupled high genetic advance as percent of mean were observed for Plant height (cm), number of pods per plant, SLA and Seed yield (kg/ha) suggesting the functioning of additive gene action in the inheritance of these traits. Therefore, simple phenotypic selection is sufficient for improving these traits.
