An experiment was conducted to find the effect of hill density and number of plants hill-1 on the pod yield and seed quality of groundnut. A density of 200000 hills ha-1 gave the highest yield compared with 100000 and 400000 hills ha-1. Seed quality expressed through protein and oil contents remained unaffected due to plant density. Two plants hill-1 gave significantly higher yield than that of one plant and three plants hill-1. Protein contents were significantly affected due to the number of plants hill-1 where two plants hill-1 gave the maximum result which was insignificantly followed by that of three plants hill-1 while oil content remained unaffected. The crops of 200000 hills ha-1 with two plants hill-1 showed maximum pod yield (2.65t ha- 1). Both protein and oil contents were found higher with the crops of 100000 hills ha-1 with two plants hill-1. Therefore, a density of 200000 hills ha-1 with two plants hill-1 emerged out as the promising practice for the improvement of yield in groundnut.
