Abstract

                                Improvement of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) has so far been confined to the exploitation of the natural genetic variability in the cultivated species. The existing variability being limited, the breeder has to resort to hybridization. The wild relatives of A. hypogaea possess desirable features such as resistance to drought, pests and diseases besides high pod to kernel ratio. The breeding behaviour of three populations of interspecific hybrids was studied and presented in this paper.
