Ninty green chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes were evaluated for genetic potential, heritability, genetic advance, and traits association of yield contributing characters during 2016-2017 at ARS Kalaburgi, University of agricultural science Raichur, Karnataka, India. The experiment was carried out in augmented design; data were recorded on days to 50% flowering, pods per plant, seeds per pod, number of primary branches /plant, number of secondary branches/ plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield /plant. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for most of the characters in advance generation of green chickpea. High amount of variability was observed for both phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variability. Broad sense heritability estimates were highest for biological yield per plant (85.76), number of seeds per pod (72.94), seed yield per plant (67.44), test weight (66.55), leaf let size (60.01) and plant height (52.76). Genetic advance was higher for biological yield per plant (11.45), test weight (9.93), days to 50 per cent flowering (9.84) and plant height (6.01). High heritability with high genetic advance per cent mean was observed for number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, test weight and seed yield per plant, whereas low heritability with low genetic advance per cent mean was observed for the traits like, number of pods per plant and number of primary branches per plant. The remaining traits like, leaf let size, plant height, basal height and number of secondary branches per plant recorded moderate heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance per cent mean.
