Correlation and path co-efficient analysis were carried out for late leafspot, pod yield and its component characters in fifteen F1 crosses along with eight parents (five lines and three testers) of groundnut during kharif, 2011. The genotypic correlation co-efficients were found to be of relatively higher magnitude than the corresponding phenotypic correlation co-efficients, indicating strong inherent association between the characters. The pod yield per plant showed significant and positive correlation with number of primary branches per plant, days to 50 per cent flowering, number of mature pods per plant, kernel yield per plant, percent pod set and harvest index both at genotypic and phenotypic levels, while it has recorded significant and positive association with late leafspot score at 90 days after sowing at genotypic level only. The path co-efficient studies indicated that number of mature pods per plant had the highest positive direct effect on pod yield followed by kernel yield per plant and harvest index while per cent pod set exerted the maximum negative direct effect on pod yield.
