Abstract
The quantity of Ca/fruit and percentage Ca in the fruit, pericarps and seeds of groundnut were measured in 25 fruits from each of 19 cv. with a wide range of seed size. The vol. of sample fruits were also determined. There was no relationship between the seed size and percentage Ca content, but there was a linear relationship between total Ca content and seed wt. The relationship between seed wt. and vol. was also linear. Using these relationships, an equation was produced to determine the influence of seed size on the distance over which Ca must be taken from the soil to meet the Ca requirements of the fruit and hence explain the known differences in response to Ca fertilization of small and large-seeded cv
