The present investigation was undertaken to study the variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean for nutritional and yield attributes in groundnut genotypes. The estimates of high values of GCV, PCV, heritability and GAM were observed for plant height and moderate values GCV, high heritability and high GAM were recorded for number of immature pods per plant, number of mature pods per plant, dry haulms yield per plant, kernel yield per plant and pod yield per plant. Heritability (broad sense) values ranged from 15.49% (stem rot incidence) to 96.17% (plant height). High heritability and along with high GAM were recorded for plant height, number of secondary branches per plant, number of immature pods per plant, number of mature pods per plant, 100 pod weight, dry haulms yield per plant, stem rot incidence, sucrose, kernel yield per plant and pod yield per plant. The results clearly suggested that the involvement of additive gene action for governing of these characters and would be more useful in predicating the resultant effects of selection.
