Abstract:
A variability and correlation study was conducted on 26 bunch varieties of
groundnut. 100 pod weight, 100 kernel weight, number of seeds per pod and
number of primary branches have high genotypic -coefficients of variation, heritability
and genetic advance and low environmental coefficients of variation. Except
number of seeds per pod, the other characters showed a positive correlation with
pod yield. These characters due to substantive additive gene effect, can be most
expected to express maximum response to selection.
