Abstract:
Fifty Virginia bunch groundnut genotypes sown under four different environments. Correlation analysis revealed that for all environments significant and positive genotypic and phenotypic correlations of pod yield per plant were observed with number of secondary branches per plant, number of matured pods per plant, kernel yield per plant, biological yield per plant and harvest index. The path coefficient analysis revealed high and positive direct effects of kernel yield per plant on pod yield per plant, while biological yield per plant and harvest index have moderate to low direct effect on pod yield per plant under all four environments. Thus, these characters turned-out to be the major components of pod yield. Number of secondary branches per plant, number of matured pods per plant, sound mature kernel, 100-kernel weight, biological yield per plant and harvest index had low to moderate positive direct effect but it have high and positive indirect effect on pod yield per plant via kernel yield per plant.
