The assessment and evaluation was done in major lentil growing areas of the country mainly in Oromia, Amhara and SNNP regions. Gimbichu, Adea, Moretina Jiru, Lume and Siyadebrna wayu were the districts involved for the study from the respective regions. Primery data was collected from the respondents of the selected districts. Lentil seed sample was collected from interviewed farmers based on the trend of seed replacement experiences which was intended for field experiment. Seed samples were bulked according to the identified replacement years and subjected to field experimentation The treatments were arranged based on the seed replacement rate of the farmers as 3years interval, 4 years interval, 5 years interval and basic seed of lentil variety Alemaya was used as standard check. The field experiment was conducted in a Randomized complete block design with three replications with plot size of 2m x 1.2m=2.4m2 at Minjar, Chefe and Akaki sub-site. Both quantitative and qualitative data collected were subjected to SAS and SPSS statistical software. All the yield and yield related components were non- significant at 5% except for flowering date and straw yield. All yield and yield related parameters show significant differences at 5% for locations and the maximum seed yield was recorded at Chefe Donsa (901 kg/ha) followed by Minjar (589kg/ha and the lowest was from Akaki (301kg/ha). Regarding the seed replacement rate all yield and yield related parameters showed significant variations except for flowering date and plant height and the maximum seed yield was obtained at three years of seed replacement (695kg/ha) and the lowest is at fifth year seed replacement year (518kg/ha) which indicates the productivity of the varieties reduced as the replacement year increases due to genetic and physical deterioration and susceptibility to disease.
