Estimates of Genetic Parameters and Correlation Studies in Bunch Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

Thirty bunch groundut varieties were evaluated for genetic parameters and degree of association between yield and its components. Number of pods per plant exhibited maximum genotypic and phenotypic co-efficient of variation. 100-pod weight had maxi- mum heritability and genetic advance. Phenotypically, pod yield had positive correla- tion with 100-kernel weight and oil content. Number of pods per plant had negative association with 100-pod weight and 100-kernel weight while shelling out-turn showed a positive correlation with them.
