ABSTRACT

Forty eight diverse genotypes of Spanish bunch groundnut were evaluated during kharif in 2018 to assess the variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean for nine characters viz., Initial plant stand per plot, Final plant stand per plot, days to maturity, shelling percentage, 100 kernel weight (g), kernel yield per plot (g), biological yield per plot (g), pod yield per plot (g) and Sound mature kernel percent The results revealed that high PCV and GCV was observed for pod yield per plot (g), kernel yield per plot (g) and biological yield per plot (g). High heritability accompanied with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was recorded for kernel yield per plot (g), biological yield per plot (g), pod yield per plot (g) and 10 kernel weight indicated the preponderance of additive gene action which may be exploited through simple selection methods.

Keywords: Genetic advance, Groundnut, Heritability, Pod yield, Variability.
