Abstract
The objective of a crop breeding program is to create variability and select the desirable genotype (s) for cultivation or for breeding purposes. Groundnut, being a highly self-pollinated crop, requires special attention in emasculation, crossing, and selection as these processes require special skills and may be time consuming. Genetic studies assist the breeder in understanding the inheritance mechanism and enhance the efficiency of a breeding program. Considerable progress has been made in genetics and plant breeding of groundnut during the last three decades (see reviews Wynne and Gregory 1981; Wynne and Coffelt 1982; Norden et al. 1982; Reddy 1988; and Wynne and Halward 1 9 8 9 ) . An attempt has been made to compile the recorded experiences of groundnut breeders and geneticists. Questions are provided to assist in self evaluation of selected skills by the, readers.
