Abstract
Sixty six genotypes of groundnut were used to study the correlation and path analysis for yield and yield contributing characters. Correlation studies revealed that kernel yield was significantly and positively associated with pod yield per plant, number of mature pods per plant, shelling percentage, harvest index, sound mature kernel percentage, specific leaf weight at 60 DAS, protein content and oil content. Path coefficient analysis indicated that pod yield per plant and shelling percentage had high positive direct effect on kernel yield signifying the importance of these traits in the improvement of seed yield.
