A comprehensive assessment was undertaken to identify high-yielding Nigella sativa genotypes. Analysis of diverse germplasm revealed significant phenotypic variation in key agronomic traits, with seed number per capsule, days to maturity, and seed yield per plant exhibiting the broadest ranges. The yield performance of nigella variety AN-1 (1129.36 kg/ha) (10.20% higher than Ajmer Nigella-20) was found superior for seed yield and other yield attributing characters then check varieties AN-20 and Pant Krishna. Total oil content in AN-1 was recorded 19.70% (37.76 and 33.10 % higher than Ajmer Nigella-20 and Pant Krishna, respectively) whereas essential oil content was 0.03 %. The proposed variety of Ajmer Nigella-1 (AN–1) overall performance was significant. Out of 54 primers used in molecular analysis only 5 primers showed Polymorphism.
