The results indicated high genetic coefficient of variation (GCV), coupled with high genetic advance (GA), genetic advance as percent of mean (GAM) and heritability for number of mature pods per plant, biomass, pod yield per plant and SPAD chlorophyll meter reading. Seed yield was highly significant and positively correlated with biomass, pod yield, relative water content, SPAD chlorophyll meter reading, harvest index, shelling percentage and days to maturity. Furthermore, path analysis showed that pod yield and SHP had the highest direct and indirect effects on seed yield respectively. Therefore, integration of these traits in drought tolerance or moisture stress tolerance breeding scheme would be advantageous in selecting groundnut genotypes that are more capable in water use efficiency.
