The present experiment was conducted to study correlation for yield and yield contributing characters in BC1F1 generation derived from three crosses of groundnut viz., CO 7 × GPBD 4, TMV 2 × GPBD 4 and TMV (Gn) 13 × GPBD 4. Correlation analysis indicated that kernel yield per plant was significant and positively associated with number of pods per plant, hundred pod weight, hundred kernel weight, shell weight, shelling out-turn and pod yield per plant for all the three crosses. |
