Abstract

                                The mineral composition of leaves of different varieties of groundnut under different habits of growth analysed during the crop growth period indicated that both cations and anions augered well for high yielding potentiality which was singular chracteristics of the high yielding varieties in each habit of growth. An accumulation of high calcium in leaves at flowering, pod setting and pod filling stages enhanced the pod yield in high yielding varieties. High potassium-calcium ratio was associated with high yielders under each habit of growth.
