Abstract
A small project was taken up to estimate total production of groundnut crop well before the harvest during the years 1980-81 and 1981-82 kharif in Junagadh district. The different yield contributing biometrical characters are recorded on the randomly selected plants during their life period. Correlation coefficients between yield and biometrical characters were worked out. Number of plants at harvest, number of mature pods and total number of pods per plant were significantly correlated with the final yield. Soil moisture as an indirect measure of rainfall was considered during the second years of the study. The effect of moisture content in the soil at 0-15 on depth at the time of pegging and pod development stages was significant.
