ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted to evaluate performance of 36 groundnut genotypes for yield and yield attributes at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tirupati, during rabi 2021-22 laid out in Alpha Lattice Design with two replications. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits indicating the existence of ample amount of variability in the material for all the traits under consideration. TCGS 2233, TCGS 2223, TCGS 2347, UBEK 21-67, UBEK 21- 70, UBEK 21-68, Rohini and UBEK 21-76 were found as promising genotypes and could be exploited for improvement of yield and yield attributes in the breeding programme as donors.
