Knowledge of the interactions between the yield and its different attributes and their direct and indirect effects on the yield is crucial for the development of elite genotypes. This experiment was carried out with 42 genotypes of groundnut along with 4 replications for studying of character association and path coefficient analysis. Pod yield per plant showed highly significant, moderately strong to very strong and positive correlation with primary branches per plant and the matured pods per plant both at phenotypic and genotypic level, while negative and significant correlation with shelling percent at phenotypic level. The path coefficient analysis revealed that matured pods per plant, primary branches per plant, days to maturity and 100-kernel weight displayed positive and negligible to very high direct effect on pod yield per plant. Hence, it would be rewarding to give due importance on the selection of these characters for rapid improvement in pod yield of groundnut.
