A field experiment was conducted in the summer seasons of 2014 on three groundnut varieties (V1–TAG-24, V2–SB-XI and V3-LGN-1) sown on four different land configurations (L1- Ridges and furrow, L2- Broad bed furrow, L3 – Sara and L4-Flat bed) at the research farm of Department of Agronomy, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications where the land configurations and the varieties were considered as main plot and sub plot treatments respectively. The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of heat units on growth and yield of groundnut in summer season as temperature increases GDD and HTU of crop increased and it depends on duration of varieties. Total GDD requirement of SB-XI is greater than TAG-24 and LGN-1.Bud emergence and pod emergence phases which might have played a crucial role in the yield of the crop and performed better in BBF and Ridges and Furrow land configurations.
