Not AvailableGroundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), is important oilseed legume crop of arid and semiarid tropics. The experiment was conducted at the experimental plots of ICAR-Directorate of Groundnut Research (ICAR-DGR), Junagadh during summer season 2017. A total of 97 germplasm collections consist of 33 NRCG collections, 54 released varieties and 10 advanced breeding lines developed from Plant Breeding section, ICAR-Directorate of Groundnut Rese arch, Junagadh.The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the all the genotypes for all the traits except days to 50 per cent flowering and primary branches per plant indicating the existence of significant variability for for yield and water use efficiency related traits. High heritability coupled with moderate high genetic advance as per cent of mean for yield and its component traits indicates the involvement of additive gene action governing the traits and scope for selection. SLA associated negatively with SCMR and days to flowering associated significant negatively with pod yield per plant.Not Availabl
